"There are certain sensitivities in operating in a country like Saudi Arabia," he said.




To every one of you companies that are surrendering to this bullsh*t P.C. mentality, every single one of you should be ashamed of yourselves... And to all of you that are feeling so friggin' picked on because we are not respecting your load of crap "religion of peace"... Enjoy all the time you have in this life with your family and friends, it's probably the only one you'll have...

No one gets offended as easily as Muslims ... except maybe atheists.

(Grin) You can probably pick up the box cutter at one of the open markets.
Just remember, 2 triangles=David, 2 Squares=Islam.

Issue the ladies guns. That way the religious police will learn to leave the western women alone.

2006: Air crew on the only British airline that flies to Saudi Arabia have been told not to wear crucifixes or St Christopher medals on flights there so as not to offend the country's Muslims. ...The airline insists that the rules are part of its "obligation" to "respect the customs" of Saudi Arabia.

2016: Air crew on the only British airline that flies to Saudi Arabia have been told that female flight attendants will now be required to have their girly parts lopped off before entering Saudi air space. Upon leaving Saudi air space, they will be re-issued said girly parts along with a tube of crazy glue and two extra-strength Tylenol...The airline, which recently changed its name to AirDhimmi, insists that the rules are part of its "obligation" to "respect the customs" of Saudi Arabia.

The Saudis are the biggest bunch of hypocrites.

As soon as a plane leaves Saudi airspace, almost every Saudi woman heads for the lavatory and changes into Western attire. Then the opposite is true before their return flight reaches Saudi airspace.

As for the men, they mostly starting ordering alcohol and hitting on all the women.

When in Rome do as the Romans.

As long as they don't expect us to adjust for them - oops we already are.

Actually, it is probably illegal in Muslim countries. As is the Bible. There is no wall of separation for them, in any area.

Piss on 'em! Let 'em be offended

Let me know when you are headed over there to tell them how to run their country. Over here I agree with you, but show up there with a bible or a cross and you're in deep sh!!.

No suprise. I remember Gulf War 1, when our military in Saudi were forbidden from any kind of Christmas displays, celebrations etc., and even told they could not sing Christmas carols, so as not to offend the very people they were over there defending.

Any mention of Christ or display of the cross is verboten in that part of the world, even if you are wearing a crisifix under your uniform. PC rules the day.

However, one unnamed BMI employee told a Sunday newspaper: "It's outrageous that we must respect their beliefs but they're not prepared to respect ours". BMI are asking too much of their staff on this one.

My thoughts exactly.

"Phil Shepherd, the airline's spokesman, said any staff who did not wish to adhere to the requirements could transfer to short haul routes. There was no difference in salary, he added."

There you go. That's what I'd do before putting on one of those blankets. As for taking off my cross necklace, there's absolutely no way I'd do that.

I will not send American boys had to fly 6 or 7 thousand miles from home to do what Vietnamese Muslim boys should be doing for themselves.
