Muslim Royals seem to have the same wonderful reputation regardless of their nationality:

This is world wide regardless of religion or culture. Its one of the basic human greed phenomena

I always likened 'Insh'allah' to lack of accountability....

Indeed...if we were living in the 18th Century I might buy the human greed explaination. But when it's happening today in 2009 by people who are often loaded and exposed to high standards of education (or at least the pretense of it) and the faster spread of information for a "royal" to act in such a manner says to me they are either mentally ill or religious...

I can't see religion coming into place?? Why do people always assume religion is what makes people act and believe. Religion is for the weak. Religion is for those people who can't stand up to what they truly believe in and use the religion excuse. 9/11 was connected straight away to Islam due to something called Jihad. IRA been connected to the catholics and there belief.

I'm not one to split hairs really, but I think you would find that the IRA was connected to the Republican movement, and were involved in terror in pursuance of a united Ireland, as opposed to Catholics and any beliefs they hold.

sorry, but i would have punched that cigarette out of his mouth, It appears acceptable for them to do this to non-muslim people who eat burgers in MOE during Ramadan, so when some muslim clown risks killing everyone and comes out with 'inshalla'-OOOF..smack. get your sorry fat (cause it will be) arse off my site and dont come back..

and if management dont back me up.....seeyou..
