A friend of my husbands is a serviceman who recently came back from Bahrain. He said the belief by the Muslims is that Allah cannot see down into Bahrain and there you can do as you want. In fact he laughed and said, 'yeah they all go over there to forget about their religion. Allah can't them in Bahrain, they say'.

I found this hard to believe and looked it up on the net and found the literal translation of the word Bahrain is "Two Seas". I wonder if for them that has a double meaning. I'm interested to know if anyone else had heard about this?

The 9/11 terrorists obviously didn't think "Allah" could see them here, either. During their years living with us before the attacks a lot of them regularly went to bars and strip clubs.

In 1991 my DH spent a few weeks as a civilian in Saudi Arabia. When he left the pilot announced that they had left Saudi air space and the line formed for the women's toilet. In the women went with their long black robes and out they came in designer clothes and lots of gold jewelry . . . . and apparently the drink cart came out, too.

So, google maps is more almighty than allah?

I think the someone was pulling his leg.

Alot of muslims can, and will look the other way sometimes for the right amount of money or what not, and then just play games.

Either that, or those guys intend to booze, gamble, whore it up and then "martyr" themselves.

I remember this from my time over there. The Saudis would make the drive across the causeway, party hard in Bahrain, then head back home and condemn people for doing what they just got done doing. Overall, Bahrain's not too bad a place, just a bit barren.

Allah cannot see what we'll do to Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.

Not much of a god!

Bahrain has seen its day. Dubai is where it's at. Better restaurants, hotels, shopping, and nightclubs. Multiple stops in both and Dubai gets my vote.

If they think Bahrain is good or bad, they should go to Dubai.

Muslims say that a black cloud hangs over Bahrain that Allah cannot see through.

Hmmmm. So a CLOUD can block Allah's vision? That may come in handy.

Sounds like "Bahrain-washing" to me...
