Very serious error to assume that whoever does not think like you is not a follower of the same religion as you. <br /><br />And very offensive to label something 'dirty' and compare it to bodily waste.<br /><br />You would like Dubai governement to be more 'respectful' to what your interpretation of your religion is. What the govt wants has been clear ever since pubs opened here :) <br /><br />What I know of religion - most rules have interpretations which vary according to how strict the follower is. I said strict, not how good. <br /><br />And what I know of rules is that they need to be followed in spirit (!) rather than in letter. Rules exist because they are trying to concisely make a point. If you make them an end in themselves, no one wins. <br /><br />Just as having bruises on your knees from kneeling in church all day will not make you a good christian human. Just as dipping your head in the Ganga will not make you a good hindu human.<br /><br />Anyone who practices rather than believes has trouble with this concept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-78610176946028502502010-03-22T22:35:00.381+04:002010-03-22T22:35:00.381+04:00btw, Sam, that is a very interesting article!! i d...btw, Sam, that is a very interesting article!! i dunno how scientifically robust it is, but it makes a good point!<br /><br />The Real Nick.. why support my presidency when i can easily rig the votes? hehe<br /><br />that's a joke, ok, so don't kill me for it!BuJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281313255927628650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-42101070159674379552010-03-22T22:33:57.145+04:002010-03-22T22:33:57.145+04:00surely no good can come out of someone that starts...surely no good can come out of someone that starts a sentence with "hey hey hey".. especially if they do not bother to use a name of some sort.<br /><br />typical of the weirdos you see online.<br /><br />you just stopped short of calling me a non-believer. i bet you heard what you thought was god talking to you in your sleep and you were warned about infidels like me, no?<br /><br />alcohol is not najas.. instead najas is something u need to wash after touching. like urine and shit.. i never heard of an islamic requirement to wash after touching alcohol, even say for medicinal use.<br /><br />But let's be honest, you made just one good point. <br /><br />That point is that Saudi Arabia is not for normal moderate folk like me.BuJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281313255927628650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-49084253188906970902010-03-22T20:54:17.774+04:002010-03-22T20:54:17.774+04:00On fark someone posted this link: http://www.ochef...On fark someone posted this link: <a href="http://www.ochef.com/165.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ochef.com/165.htm</a>samuraisamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177501779546963794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-33441273882628978462010-03-22T19:26:02.756+04:002010-03-22T19:26:02.756+04:00Hey hey hey, wait a minute.

Buj I doubt you understand Islamic jurisprudence and I also doubt that you have read the Quran, Ahadeeth (Sayings of the Prophet) etc.<br /><br />Because for us muslims its a non-issue, because 'alcohol' has been clearly called as unclean and dirty ("NAJAS") in the Quran. Because of the same reason a lot of muslims prefer to buy non-alcoholic perfumes too.<br /><br />Now with due respects to you Buj, flavour or no flavour, would you or any one else prefer something solid to eat over which first just a drop of urine has been poured and evaporated by applying high heat? you know why not? it is because you consider urine dirty (not just a mixture of some chemicals, live organisms and water).....similarly we consider alcohol to be dirty too.<br /><br />Now if you think that the solid food that I mentioned above is okay to eat than yes Dubai government is wrong - otherwise they are respecting their religion something which they are entitled to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-77179856325771852322010-03-22T10:41:23.756+04:002010-03-22T10:41:23.756+04:00BuJ for president!BuJ for president!huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09299456569511629114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-59288033650505595202010-03-22T09:43:10.706+04:002010-03-22T09:43:10.706+04:00oh, but let's not be naive, the koran bans alc...oh, but let's not be naive, the koran bans alcohol and not the flavour it leaves behind! <br /><br />what's next?<br /><br />-perfumes<br />-medicines<br />-chemical labs<br />-oil refineries<br />-any hydrocarbon that can be potentially converted into alcohol<br /><br /><br />does this continue to other types of hydrocarbons? what about benzine or desiel? why don't they ban the sale of food and drink at petrol stations because of the alcoholic "fumes" from the pumps?<br /><br />i think DM needs a sensibility check before they go around banning things, and the general public needs to put things in perspective before crying wolf.BuJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281313255927628650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-73833096106662082010-03-22T09:25:44.373+04:002010-03-22T09:25:44.373+04:00True BuJ, but even if the alcohol is burnt off the...True BuJ, but even if the alcohol is burnt off the flavour remains - which is the point of including it.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-75757688329920936502010-03-21T18:26:21.216+04:002010-03-21T18:26:21.216+04:00so what?
