There was a man whipped in Saudi recently, for proclaiming that he did not believe in god. And yet you, and countless others including the old farts who preside over the Magic Kingdom, shout that Islam is the religion of peace. Try telling that to the guy who's just been whipped. That's hypocrisy, and if you had any decency you'd be embarrassed, but we all know that's too much to expect of you.
Equally, There Are a few hundreds of people locked up in Guantanamo bay without trial for a decade now. So now you tell me, do you have the decency to be embarssed?

Now regarding my English, it may not be good enough for the english folks, but at least I don't shamefully lick their asses begging for acceptance. Do you see the difference?

You just lick Khaleeji ass when you defend their religion with such vigor but then again, being an Iraqi, maybe you consider yourself of the same ethnic/tribal grouping , but Beekeeper is a Brit of Pakistani heritage .

Aren't all non Khaleejis kissing Arabian ass when they zealously defend Islam, a Khaleeji creation.

That's quite funny, for you, if it's the same as calling a black guy a Milky Bar?

However, the rest of whatever you post isn't funny and is so undeniably blinkered I'm now of the complete certainty that you like to **** young boys.

It's the only explanation.

The epithet here in the US is "Oreo". And for Orientals it is banana. Don't think there is a similar term for Native Americans.

RED, mate I seriously do not get this comment of yours.
The dude converted and so he performed Hajj, I don't get the embarrassment. I think what you mean is that he probably p i s s e d off some of the none muslim folks, but it certainly wouldn't be an embarrassment.

I don't understand what the 'embarrassment' might be. Saudi Ambassador , married to a Muslim woman, converts to Islam and then goes on Hajj. Loads of converts / reverts go to Hajj - what the issue?

Reading through the thread, it seems the poster has some previous 'beef' with the usual residents on this board. Some entertainment for a slow day back at work.
