For me america is a great example of what should be achieved by any country and I will never discuss that. What scares me is certainly its foreign policy. Aphie's words were great and I hope there were more americans like him. Not people that uses others customs in order to perpetrate an attack. This will just lead to the contrary effect. What I learned about Iran is just very interesting. Women were forbidden to veil themselves and they could go to prison because of that. Shah was a dictator backed by the US and replacing the great man Mossadech who wanted to nationalize the oil resources of his country. After all this is his right. The USA would have done the same. What happened next is that he has been killed by the CIA replaced by a dictator and this brought the islamic revolution. These were the effects... Not the opening of Iran but its closing. Especially that after that we armed Saddam to attack violently the Iranian people. Nobody is neutral in this conflict, everyone has his stake of responsibility. Many million Iranian and Irakis died and all of that could have been avoided. The danger is that the whole region transforms itself into a big Iran. And if it continues that way, there are great chances...
good point. Arab counts for less than 20% of the total muslim population. And even the notion of arabs is not exact. Arab is a person that speaks arabic. The real arabs are the arabs from arbia saudia, but the others have diverse origins.
She was jailed for corruption reasons. By the way it's gher husband that was jailed I don't remember Bhutto being jailed. and the present dictator is a very good friend of the USA unfortunately. I think that this should change, but what can you do with the US backings???
He is as good a "friend" of the US as Papa Doc and his son Baby Doc was and a long line of similar gangsters
rs7, measured by the freedom to "have their fingernails done at their local beauty salons" all Arab women have certainly been on the forefront of the "Womens´Liberation Front" ... at least 2000 years before the Pilgrim Fathers were washed ashore the US of A. regards wild
You see Rs7, Jordan. Palestinian used to live in Palestine not Jordan. Palestine is their country and it was occupied by Israelis. History is history and what is done is done, but don't ask the palestinians to stay in a country that is not theirs. If you had lived all your life in NY and then one day, Saddam hussein attacks NY and chase you from it. what would you do??? Sincerely??? even if you had a palce ten thousand times better than it you would still prefer NY. The same applies for palestinian. This is their land and a solution must be found. On top of that Jerusalem is a holy place for all the muslims of the world (1 billion). Your friend went to Jordania. I am sure you can go. Ask anyway. Syria is in doubt but even though, it is not written on your passport that you are jewish. Many people go to Israel, Egypt then Syria. You are just scared for nothing. That really amuses me. like your friend that went to paris and said it is filled with palestinian. Too funny. There are certainly more jews in paris Than there are palestinian in the Gaza strip.. So frankly I am quite convinced you would have no difficulty entering any arab country. The only one in doubt is Saudia and Iraq. All the others are possible. Concerning the woman they do have all the rights of a normal citizen. and concerning make up and nails since this is your obsession let me reassure you, they also can do that. I think that it is even more important in that part of the world than in the US or europe
Please not you don't use that kinds of remarks. Just between France and Germany there are many cases of fathers that stole their child and vice versa. and This is just enormous. The Law is sometimes incapable of doing anything. That does not mean that Saudis do not steal their child but anyone with a child would do whatever is possible to have his child and you know it. It has nothing to do with religion, race or anything else. If they had a child, ie they loved each other and then when it stops it's just terrible.. I am sure that there are thousadn of cases between mexico and the USA or The USA and Canada.
Saudi Arabia is the only Country in the World where an AMERICAN CITIZEN; be it a child or woman, can and are held agaisnt their will...This is a fact, period. There are cases upon cases of this. Yes custody battles do get ugly, but held agaisnt their will is more than ugly..........peace As much as I would've loved Elian to stay in this country. His only living Parent wanted him back. Although it was ugly, he is back with his father. Which is more than I can say for the Woman and Children being held against their will in Saudi Arabia...What the fuck is that all about???....
