I am sure some scholar will find a passage about them in the book for you. I may check on my Quran app.

Ethos83 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Egyptian resort hotel bans alcohol and creates women only floor.

All this discussion about how destructive alcohol is to the West ignores that tobacco is just as bad to the Muslim countries. Middle Easterners, particularly from the Levant, have to be among the heaviest smokers in the world. Possibly only the Chinese can beat them.

Not quite--it doesn't cause them to turn city centres into mayhem on a Friday and Saturday night.

Although your name appears on my ignore list, I however am going to give you another chance to prove yourself… Tell me, is there anything sacred in your life? I will make life easy for you and give you an answer; Yes, the life of your children is sacred to you, right?

There for, if you don’t like any one to bash at what you consider as sacred, I suppose others also don’t like it too. Does that sound fair to you, or atheism has even wiped out that bit of mercy from your soul!!!

Freedom of speech and the right to choose my religion--or to choose not to have one--are sacred in my life. If I were born in certain countries those things would be denied me.

You're on the wrong forum asking shit like that.

The web address gives a clue, whilst not solely for Brits, you have to accept and live with what people post on here. Do you live in the UK? It seems you have no concept of British humour, freedom of speech etc...

This whole idea that city centres in the UK are no-go areas, or mayhem, or war zones, or whatever on a Friday and Saturday night is largely tabloid bollocks though. I’ll accept there is trouble, mostly caused by drink, but of the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) who will be out how many really end up in A&E or in the cells? Must be a fraction of a %, that doesn’t make for good headlines though.
