No dancing in public: Dubai

[جوري]

Yep, I'd love to go visit the narrow, bustling streets of a medina.

Remind me where I mentioned the Sacred mosque? This is where being skilled at reading helps.

"Medina'' is a sacred mosque

I see. I was referring to the medina quarter that is found in most North African cities. One would have thought the 'a' before the word 'medina' would have been a clue, as would the fact I mentioned two North African cities that have medinas in them.

I am a native Arabic speaker and if you speak of 'Medina' it is automatically understood as the holy city.. the word you are looking for it midan/ ميدان.. not medina.. so um though I didn't insult you as you've done the other member for understanding the term as the rest of us do I wish you'd desist persisting in your folly..

And you are also unclean as well

( Quran 9:28).

"Oh you who believe! Truly the idolaters are unclean; so let them not, after this year, approach the Sacred Mosque...."

You will only end up in this road of non-muslims

I can't tell if that road sign is a joke or for real.

Either way its kind of silly and ironic. You complain about being discriminated against by not being allowed to wear face masks in public in western nations and then tell non-muslims they are dirty and need to drive on a different road? hehehe

The sign is real. It marks the boundaries of haram lands, where non-muslim are not allowed to enter, and not as you claim the sign represents (which I think reflects your poor misconception). Every visitor to Saudi Arabia knows that they cannot enter haraamain if they are not muslim.

And unlike western nation, Saudi Arabia does not pretend to have "democracy" or "freedom of speech" or freedom whatever.

So I don't understand your rant here.
Does not make sense at all.

I feel sorry for you. You are ignorant but you think you know-all.
May Allah SWT guide you.

You can complain to God

I'm not complaining. I'm just noting the irony of folks claiming to be discriminated against while discriminating against others.

How can you claim I think I know all in response to my specific statement about not knowing something?

You may be correcting Supreme's mistake with the Arabic language, but it is hardly in a civil, respectful manner. All the more disturbing since his intent was not to deride or insult Muslims or Islam, but was rather to show an interest in Arabic culture. Perhaps you have cured him of that interest now.

You may well feel frustrated that non Muslims have so little understanding and so many misconceptions about Islam & Muslims. Perhaps you might take a close look at the tone of your corrections and explanations and ask if they are the best way to invite someone interested in understanding to explore any further.

That sign is as real as it gets. See it every time I go to Makkah, allhamdulillah. and I LOVE to see it. Keep those tourist kaafirs out who otherwise would spare not time in getting out in their bikinis and beach suites to tan in the Sun while taking photographs in front of "the black cube that them Muzzies worship." Yes, they can be that ridiculous, immature and disgusting. And ooh, who knows they might also want to have a booze party on one of them high minarets ... you know, close to clouds, high up in illusions while being drunk ...

 

[shuraimfan4lyf]

My favorite old pic of Makkah..gives me a smile on my face everytime I see it

Dubai should get stricter..its a shame to see those kind of behaviors going on in a muslim country.

wohoooooo

Well, in the first part of your statements you did admit ignorance about the sign, but in the second part you ventured to care nothing for any explanation given and even gave another illogical statement.

This kind of thing normally comes off the mouth of an ignorant who sadly don't know that they are.

Completely agree, just rudeness that wouldn't be tolerated if it was the other way around.

mad scientist not all non-Muslims are drunken louts you know. I don't drink and I have friends that don't. I've also never heard Muslims referred to as "Muzzies" :S

I'm not complaining. I'm just noting the irony of folks claiming to be discriminated against while discriminating against others.

The following points will serve to elucidate the possible reasoning behind such a restriction.

1. All citizens are not permitted in the cantonment area



A citizen not permitted to enter certain restricted areas like the cantonment. In every country there are certain areas where a common citizen of that country cannot enter. Only a citizen who is enrolled in the military or those who are connected with the defence of the country are allowed in the cantonment area. Similarly Islam is a Universal Religion for the entire world and for all human beings. The cantonment areas of Islam are the two holy cites of Makkah and Madinah. Here only those who believe in Islam and are involved in the defence of Islam i.e. the Muslims are allowed.



It would be illogical for a common citizen to object against the restriction on entering a cantonment area. Similarly it is not appropriate for non-Muslims to object against the restriction on non-Muslims against entering Makkah and Madinah.



2. Visa to enter Makkah and Madinah



a. Whenever a person travels to a foreign country he has to first apply for a visa i.e. the permission to enter that country. Every country has its own rules, regulations and requirements for issuing a visa. Unless their critera are satisfied they will not issue a visa.



b. One of the countries which is very strict in issuing a visa is the United States of America, especially when issuing visas to citizens of the third world. They have several conditions and requirements to be fulfilled before they issue a visa.

c. When you visit Singapore, it was mentioned on their immigration form - death to drug traffickers. If I want to visit Singapore I have to abide by the rules. I cannot say that death penalty is a barbaric punishment. Only if I agree with their requirements and conditions will I be permitted to enter the country.



d. The Visa – The primary condition required for any human being to enter Makkah or Madina is to say with his lips, La ila ha illallah Muhammed ur Rasulullah meaning that ‘there is no God but Allah and Muhammed (pbuh) is His Messenger.’

And it would even keep out those even more dangerous Hindu Kaafirs pigs who might even a fling a grenade inside a mosque as they did in the Mecca Masjid

That is funny.. what do you want to do in the holy-land? It isn't a tourist spot.. I know of Muslims on a five year waiting list to make the last ritual and others saving for 20+ yrs.. why should a kaffir be allowed there? furthermore why would you want to go there-- when it is strictly for completing the last religious rite? Thanks God that there are at least two spots in this universe safe from filth!

Oh-- so this :

This is where being skilled at reading helps.

wasn't meant in a derogatory fashion -- ignorant and pompous and you have the nerve to comment? In fact you should carry that thought through, because I have absolutely no desire to correct or expend much time on why you view Muslims the way you do!.. I genuinely couldn't give a ****.. and if I did then logic would dictate that I'd not be on a Muslim forum doing so!

As I have said before, if you don't like it here, don't be a member here.. that goes for the other fellow too-- in fact I think you've incommoded your hosts, you'd not last a day on another forum!

I haven't done anything wrong, just because I've come on here and am a non-Muslim that doesn't mean I expect to get spoken to rudely. There's no reason why mistakes can't be explained politely, it's got nothing to do with religion or race, I'd say the same to someone on the forum about budgies I'm also a member of.
