This "5ft 2 twig" David spanked and destroyed 50 ft and 1 tonne Arab Goliaths in the 60s!

Nice, I hope Turkey-Israel relations flourish from now on.

They must've been one of those rock throwers. A few days ago, a 2 year child was almost killed by those rock throwers. Though in my opinion a better way would be to arrest the parents who incite their kids to throw rocks instead of arresting the kid. Leaving out the army and/or police, what...

Iran's Ayatollahs are a threat to not only Israel, but Iranians and Arabs as well. They want to push Iran to a devastating war to bring their 12th imam. The fact is, contrary to the Ayatollah, it is Israel who can destroy Tehran, Masshad, Tabriz etc, within a couple of hours of full-scale war...

Jordan unfortunately does not have any significant oil field, thus they have fallen behind in the GCC oil boom and today has a GDP/capita just above Syria. In many ways circumstances have been unfair to Jordan due to refugees from Iraq and Israel. Unlike other Arab countries, Jordan does not...

Vague assertions Islamists were also opposing something (mixed seating) which is a completely lawful act. It has. Moderate muslims won't have any problem with mixed seating arrangement. The Koran doesn't tell you to segregate sexes. Exactly, now: 1. According to radical Islam, men and...

I would've replied to your post, @Chak Bamu, but the repeated emotional outbursts of "apartheid" makes me cautious. Whenever I see someone using that word when debating about Israel, I know that person is deluded enough to have no awareness of ground realities whatsoever. For them, ignorance is...

First, is there a need for revolution? Oh hell no! Maybe during the time when King Fahd used to rule, but not under King Abdullah. This king turned the country around in just about every way. Saudi Arabia's GDP surged about 3 times from the period 2000-present. Second, revolution, what type of...

The fact is that if you come across a radical Muslim in the UK, chances are he is born and bred in the UK itself and is a British citizen. Most immigrants to UK come from poorer countries and knowing the conditions back in their country relative to UK, they assimilate easily to British way of...

Thanks everyone, very nice pictures of a beautiful country. Anyone who's been a victim of negative stereotyping about Arabs ought to visit this thread.:tup:

Okay, I get you guys but it seems the culture of Najd is somewhat different from Western (hijaz) part of Arabia. It's sparsely populated as well. I have heard about some of my friends who have toured Saudi Arabia and they all say Saudi is very modernised and developed. So, I get a feeling...

Don't you think there is an influence of climate as far as Najd desert is concerned? When all you have is desert with blinding heat where no crop and no nothing can possibly grow, it is only normal that region would remain backward. UAE and Qatar are not desert backwaters because they have...

I have studied the history of Israel in detail and a scant bit of Pakistan's. I can spot some similarities between the two states, correct me if I'm wrong. 1. As a precursor to Israel and pakistan, both Jews and Muslims were persecuted by Arabs and British India respectively. 2. Israel waged a...

We do not hate Muslim countries as Muslims like Hasbara Buster and you hate the West. Same goes for Chinese and Arabs, we don't hate them. Show me where US and any other country officially called pakistan a terrorist state? Just a bunch of unfounded accusations This is hilarious. Shall I...

What admission? History has shown that ethnic and sectarian divisions cause instability, contributing to division sooner or later. If you hate west and Israel so much, why are you still living in Netherland or West-friendly Turkey? Why don't you go to Lebanon and stay with the monkey who is in...

The whole thing is refuted by the fact that Israel voluntarily gave up double it's size of territory in exchange for a promise of peace. Division would naturally occur in sectarian lines, as history has shown. Kurds, for example, will gain independence sooner or later.

You are misinformed. US alone has enough resources to keep it going for the next 300 years. Islamic world has nothing much to offer other than oil.The countries with oil are being compensated heavily which is helping to increase their standard of living. Those weapons have provided stability...

It depends on the mentality of the people. In Saudi Arabia, for example, 99% are Muslims who want Sharia law to rule over them due to religious obligations. Not all Muslims want Sharia, but I can estimate the amount would be at least 85%, as one Prince said. So, although we think democracy is...

Hmm, you do have a point. Religious tolerance at this point may not make much difference because at least 95% of GCC countries are Muslim. The concept of democracy is also different in the Arab world.

Why not? The population would enjoy democratic rights which aren't available in other countries.
