renamed since XE and now headquartered in Abu Dhabi.

its been posted before but they now run a small force for one man here among other things.

Not long ago they pulled out of an anti piracy base in Somali, leaving behind them men and equipment unpaid and uncollected

They have a job for a Database Administrator who needs to be able to bend and lift awkwardly-shaped 50 lb packages. The work day is also subject to frequent interruptions. Doesn't sound like a bog standard DBA job to me :D Doesn't sound much like a job a slightly-built female geek might want to do either.

Re: The Burka
 

Are you actually claiming that the major problem for Islam is Israel? That is so preposterous as to be utterly pathetic.

So you didn't answer my question and compared all Newcastle women to prostitutes. The funny thing is the countries I have seen the most prostitutes in are all Arabic countries..........

Lets not forget you also have the Nikāḥ al-Mutʿah, or for people that don't know what that is it is a 'Pleasure Marriage'. Not allowed under the christians Gods eyes though............

Sharky, that's fighting talk where i come from....

Re: The Burka
 

That's what I was referring to with 'temporary marriage'. The explanations of have read about this type of marriage always include the mention of money changing hands and a requirement for the marriage to have a minimum duration of three days.

Discussion of this concept starts lots of fights between Shi'a and Sunnis I believe.

Israel is the defacto source of all the world's problems in the eyes of quite a few Levant Arabs

Re: The Burka
 

It's the problem for Syria? It's the problem for the entire muslim community? I think not.

Re: The Burka
 

I should have said: "according to what the Levant Arabs think"

Re: The Burka
 

the Arab-Israeli conflict is the main source of trouble in the Middle East and indirectly the Muslim world. My own impression of this conflict is that this is a religious conflict between the followers of the old testament and the followers of the Quran. Outrageous thought you might think, but this is how I see it. It just does not make sense to me as to why would the West support Israel when it is neither economically, nor morally, nor security wise justifiable?? Don’t believe the rubbish you hear about promoting democracy in the region, the west have on many occasions cleverly blocked the implementation of democracy in this region.

But like I said to you this is my own understanding. In fact I use to believe that the solution of South Africa is a good solution to the Arab-Israeli problem. But now, and given how events are developing after the Arab spring and how they are moving on in Egypt and else where, I am beginning to change my mind. South Africa problem had no religious dimension to it, the Middle East has. Therefor in a such a religious conflict there can be one solution only, and that is, let them fight it out and the winner takes it all.

Typically Islamic disrespect for age of religions. Judaism and Christianity are far older than your belief of a hallucinating Saudi charlatan

Re: The Burka
 

Fishy, you are talking my language. The west and democracy cannot win when nutters with religion are involved. Funny thing with you lot is if you didn't have Israel to hate/fight you would just hate/fight each other more and probably wipe each other out.

Re: The Burka
 

It's interesting. Try to define a Palestinian The muslims, who are hard to define have a chip on their shoulder created by the late, and unlemated Yassir Arifat, a civil engineer in Kuwait who shat upon his benifactors. The Christian Palestinians were more pragmatic, and tend to be millionares, if not billionares.
Afafat's suporters tended to be loosers ( suicide? Sorry you're as missed as a dropped apstrophy...) But there you go, the Islamic refusal to accept that the world is not stuck in the thirteenth centuty, and that the fact you believe that dishonesty is a respectful thing to acknowledge, then who can help you? No body in the rational world of . ummm.reality, would risk the chance of a dishonest, disrespectful culture being able to cope with the twenty first centturies's realisation of humanity rather than backwards camel respecters, rather than truth, which is acknowledged as not so important. If you are dishonest with outsiders, why should the Haram world respect you? It is something you earn, it is not automatic..

Re: The Burka
 

Your understanding? Seems to me, and I suspect most other posters, that you understand very little indeed.

My understanding is that you are a deeply bigoted individual.
