Fail.

[AppyPappy]

I like the part where you can rape them and they can’t do anything about it but take it and like it or risk being stoned to death for adultery.
I like rape.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Complete nonsense.

[The Working Man]

The image marks the beginning of a project that I have been wanting to carry out for some time. I have lived Saudi Arabia for 3 years, and I can assure you that the reality is quite different. In fact, there are many things that we Westerners could actually learn from them. I really admired and enjoyed the strength of their friendships, the closeness of their families, their sense of humour and how friendly and generous they are.

I’ve heard this several times over the years so it’s probably true. But for myself I think of ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ at such words when I read about all of the other abuses that are part and parcel of this “religion”.

Did he stick around to photograph her being stoned for wearing makeup, non standard eye slits, drinking cocoa with a male westerner without a suitable male relative being present, and for taking part in a one person wet burka contest?

I guess the muzzies agree with the Dems on abortion in the case of rape. But they differ on who gets aborted.

"I feel as though it is extremely symbolic of muslim women's increasing prominence in the world, despite a continued mystery. The Saudi veil is so often portrayed negatively in the West that I hope to counteract that somewhat and prevent the Western public from being mislead. Many muslim women actually choose to wear are brainwashed into wearing it and I am more than happy to respect that be a politically correct shill and apologist for female subjugation by the Muslim cult"

Fixed.

[GeronL]

Veil Fail

[CaptainK]

I waiting for the followup article where the Saudi woman don't drive, not because they are forbidden to do so, but because they have trouble seeing through the veils that they really want to wear and don't want to give up.

[dfwgator]

What really pisses me off is that Iranian women are amongst the most beautiful in the world, it’s a damn shame that beauty has to be covered up.

[Tax-chick]

There are plenty of Persians in Los Angeles, Seattle ... even in Tulsa! I agree - at their best, they are outstandingly gorgeous.

[The Working Man]

Good one! made me laugh.

I wonder what this clown of a writer thinks of the story of a wedding party being killed because there was music and dancing. (Afghanistan)

[Joseph Harrolds]

Well, now, it depends, doesn't it?  If it's something like these:

then a veil is exotic (by Western standards) and sexy.  This:

is just demeaning.

[PGR88]

It looked like a huge jellyfish

And who among us doesn't want to make love to a jellyfish?

[jocon307]

Oy veh, what a lot of hooey in that article.

Muslim women need to be afraid, very afraid of what is coming there way as the jihadis take over the entire ummah.

However, I will say that down around the DC area I have seen some very glamorous looking muslim women, with the full veil, but beautiful, beautiful drapery, super expensive jewelry and lovely eyes. They look wonderful, like something out of “the Arabian nights”.

I don’t know why I don’t see any Muslim Princess types like that up here in Jersey, I really don’t.

really admired and enjoyed the strength of their friendships, the closeness of their families, their sense of humour and how friendly and generous they are. With this and other images I would like to try and redress the balance a bit and produce a book reflecting the more magical aspects of the kingdom,"

The Soviets had humor, friends, beautiful women, "balance", and lovely countryside, too...BUT....their government SUCKED!

[wintertime]

And who among us doesn’t want to make love to a jellyfish?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do jellyfish have clitorectomies?

Making love to a woman with a clitorectomy might be a lot like having sex with a jellyfish!

[gorush]

Our culture no longer has anything to offer.

Indecent’ acts of tourists on beaches and in shopping malls – like wearing short skirts and kissing in public - are not considered criminal offences but as violations of law, according to Brigadier Khalil Al Mansouri, Director-General Department of Criminal Investigation, Dubai Police.

Such cases of misbehaviour should be dealt with in a civilised manner by educating violators about UAE laws and customs. Only if tourists continue to violate the law, will the matter can be reported to police, he said.

“The UAE is a developed country which understands different cultures. People of 203 nationalities live in UAE. Tourists are often unaware of the laws and customs of the country,” he said.

He also said Dubai Police has dealt with a few cases of tourists indulging in acts considered impolite and contrary to public morality.
