Re: The Beard Man Issue...
beard man's comments are, at times, approaching the absurd (i.e. the holocaust denier bit) but his opinions appear to be a representative slice of a section of the community in the mid-east. so, in the spirit of freedom of speech, let him back.
besides, he's far more entertaining that the likes of dbxdude and mantronic

You are more likely to be laughed at for being stupid & ignorant.

Re: The Beard Man Issue...
I absolutely agree with you. This forum is great and infact on New Year's Eve I used it to check what venues were open that night. However, i do not want to go on this forum and see comments that are pro-Israeli. Israel is not recognized by the UAE and any such comments are illegal. The British expatriate community must be able to respect the place they are residing in. Etisalat and Du ban websites for much less reasons than some of the things I have read here.

Re: The Beard Man Issue...
I am very confused now.....
You say:
If the UAE do not recognise Israel and it is illegal to support them in any way shape or form, why do the UAE and Israel Co-Sponsor Arsenal Football Club and why does the UAE let an Israeli man have a business here in the form of the Atlantis Hotel?

One more point. Doesnt anyone here have Arab and Muslim friends? I mean theoretically and legally speaking I could go to Jordan and Egypt and yell my support to Israel, but don't you think that will be insensitive towards everyone around me.

Hahaha. Israelis/Jews own EVERYTHING. Even you must surely know that the Jews are in control of almost all the cooperations worldwide. As sad and as accurate your comment is, it is inevitable that things like this happen.

You say that as an insult but Israelis probably take it as a compliment

And not everyone here has 'yelled support for Israel'.
Personally, I think we should get both of their leaders around a table and send Bison to go and knock some sense into both of them..

Not all Israelis are Jewish and not all Jews are Israeli. In fact, not all Jews support Israel. They quite separate you know.

There is a poll running to see how posters feel about him being re-instated which seems fair to me...look up democracy when you have time to step off your soap box.
