No wonder they claim Jerusalem as well...

N.

Your arrogant comments and attitude is appalling. It seems you have a deep burning hatred for Islam, Muslims and Middle East as a whole.

I have been through many of your posts and you seem to be spouting the same vitrol over and over again, whenever the topic of Islam and Muslims comes into play.

I suggest you keep your biased thoughts to yourself, and not on this forum, especially since you are living in this part of the world. Just some friendly advice.

That there's fighting talk where we come from. I thought you'd be one not to be involved in threats, intimidation and violence. Are you with Daish?

Interesting first post. Welcome to BE, tell us about yourself. Where are you from in UK? What are you doing out here?

I flew in to Madinah en route to Al Ula & Mada'in Saleh a few years back. There's a ring road and a load of pillars demarking the haram bit. The road kept dipping in and out of the haram zone. Felt like a naughty boy traspassing

So you would have everyone be politically correct and bit their tongue in the face of injustice. It is precisely because he lives in the MidEast that he can firsthand see the meanness that is the norm for the MidEast .

Yes, instead of mods giving bans as a punishment you could now get lashes instead.

This is an international forum - it does not fall under the jurisdiction of your sensibilities. If you feel something specific I have stated is wrong I would be happy to discuss that with you. If you're just going to whine about being offended and accuse me of being filled with 'a deep burning hatred' I think you'd be better off finding other forums to stifle free enquiry and thinking.

N.

Now that you have asked, yes there are a large number of your posts where you have blatantly attacked Islam and yes I do take an exception to that.

It is one thing stating you disagree with the notion of religion in general or Islam, which you are entitled to. But making a mockery of Prophets and places of worship is stepping the line a bit too far. So I am making a kind request to you to stop this hate and mockery, especially since you are living in Abu Dhabi and knowing how advanced technology is I would hate to you see you on the wrong side of the law.

And before anyone starts to accuse me of being an Islamic Extremist, Daesh, ISIS, Taleban, AQ or whatever twisted group you accuse all Muslims of belonging to. Let me remind you that I have no affiliation to any group or sect and have the utmost respect for all faiths, even Atheists.

Furthermore, let me also add that I abhor those religious bigots' which attack other non Muslims and adopt cultural elements which are then seemed to be associated with Islam. To me they are no different to EDL or BNP.

Why is, or should, any religion be immune from mockery?
