==========================================
I didn't find that true the five years that my husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia.
---------------------------------------
HOWEVER, I DID upset a Muslim woman once in the international airport, Frankfurt, Germany.
ALL the seats in the waiting/transit lounge were taken except one, next to a fatso Muslim woman. I knew she was Saudi because we had ALL gotten onto the same flight to Frankfurt from Dhahran (KSA) Airport. And THAT seat next to her had a book on it. It was a Koran.
I asked her to move it so I could sit down as I was very tired. She ignored me. I asked her again and she still ignored me. I KNEW she understood me because my body language was EXQUISITELY clear.
SO...I made out like I was going to SIT DOWN ON THE KORAN.
Lol. She almost had a fit. I told her: "Either move it or I sit on it."
She moved it.
:o) I enjoyed that, after I was refreshed from sitting down for a few minutes. Selfish ole bag.
I turned and looked at her, with a short head-shake, MORE than once, JUST to show her that I didn't feel bad AT ALL about what I said/did.
THANKS for bringing that up. I had forgotten that event. :o)
