A surprising book on Arab tourism

I think we all agree that HCAS does not know much about anything--regardless of our races, religions or nationalities.

forget it. Now i believe why dogs tail can not be made straight.

But I would just add that I don't see it as a Middle Eastern thing either. We can trace the oldest written accounts of sodomy to the region but that is because the oldest civilisations are in this region. Had the oldest accounts of civilisation been in NYC, then we could say it started there :)

HCAS, you obviously missed out on school altogether if you don't know basic geography and history, mate ;)

This proves you really dont know anything.

Wake up child and learn something properly and then come to the class.

So actually the religious references don't tell that it is a western evil...Actually it started in the middle east.

that is why i am with you in this point ex.ex.ex pat

if there is anybody said it is western then he is wrong ex.ex., the story which is mention about gays in quran is about Loat's people (a prophet in the old days) even before Abraham or Sulaiman) and his people started to became gays, they were in the middle east,in palestine.

so he Ordered LOUT and the few good people to come out from the village because the decision has been made "after a lot of preaching by Loat and tutoring him as a replay of what he was trying to do" .

the location is in the dead see....and the stories says that the Angel of king of Angels raised the village and flipped it and made it in the lowest part of the ground.

I simply meant that the stories from the Bible and Koran refer to sodomy in the story of Lot, so it can't be a "Western" thing. Lot would predate the Ancient Greeks.

But then you can pretend that QL means a lot to you and give it up, so then when you start the relationship and ever argue can say 'I changed for you, i EVEN gave up Qatar Living to be with you'.

Unless she is a b*tch and says she accepts you regardless of posting here :-p

for me...a real man should not accept that.

i didn't read in any comment that Hcas was a muslim or he refered to it.

on the other hand a lut(lot) of people in the world christians or atheists or..or...don't accept gays.

it is a matter of free opinion.

in the koran and what was going on in Sodom? Lut (Lot) wasn't from London, mate ;)

lolzzzzz exiled

Better not say you go in QL or she will think you are a loser...

Just say that you meant she had a nice pair of baubles ;-)

not good point for me since i described her with "the Christmas tree" :P

one-shot I implore you to use the chat up line "hey, aren't you the girl we were talking about on Qatar Living?"

and exiled, there is probably an App for that.

Better check that out myself.....maybe she needs some guidance on life....

ahhh...lettme check today ;)

I am not talking about the blonde one, she wasn't there when I went, there was another girl!

Maybe it is company policy to employ beauties

she is not hot but she is blond she looks like the Christmas tree

There is a hot girl working at the Vodafone section there though. Or is it the Virgin Mobile counter? Either way, that section in the corner

Virgin has been stripped of everything readable.

at virgin....hehehe i donno but it sounds weird ;p

its probably on sale at Virgin!

Iran gay free since Darius the Great!!

Lets hope so, time for him and the religious clerics to go.

Ahmed jackarse is well a jackarse :)

Or a terrorist.... :)

I respected the guy a lot for his loyalty to his beliefs if nothing till recently, but I met an Iranian friend recently and I think if what I heard is right then his time is up very soon...

WK, Iran does not have it. Ahmed-dinner-Jacket said so.

Any country which doesn't have homosexuality???

Any religion which doesn't have homosexuality???

NONE

If you can give an example against it then please do...

And if there is none then why the big fuss...

As the old Arab saying goes 'up the bum, no harm done'

You must be drunk, daydreaming of all these gay men in all these threads

this is life

exactly uranus.

i was pleasantly surprised by how accepting people were to this guy. gives a different take on the whole thing i guess. maybe people are just more accepting of differences in person than on these sorts of forums. its good ammunition against people in the West who bash places like Qatar by calling Arabs anti-gay and how they dont deserve the world cup.

'I dout your are not a brisher'--lol!

Now that Mr Repressed has gone back to bed in his closet we can have an adult conversation.

HCAS--"I doubt you are not a britisher." the double negative means ur convinced i am a "britisher". So how does that make me philipino? Ur right ur english does confuse me. lol!!!

still havent answered my question. why so interested in everyone's sexuality?

one_shot--then we wouldnt be havin this conversation

:D i knew you would say that....now let's go back in time and imagine that my crazy Idea started 3000 years before.

we would not be here to argue this issue.

and the last woman would live that time will say "F** Men" then she will close her eyes.

i doubt you are not a britisher. I think you are a filipina.

forget it. You are still a teenager to know all this.

You are not even replying to my question. Good night and have sweet dreams buddy. Dont worry iam not trying to make it a dating site.

HCAS--tell me why you care first?!

one_shot--cloning would solve the problem but it would make for a more boring world.

HCAS--so your sayin you can tell when people are gay from a feelin? Isnt that called the "gaydar thing" (like radar for gay people identifying other gay people)???

Can you understand my english or you are pretending not to.

I have asked you, Do you prefer to marry a woman or a man (who is not a gay).

fair enough one_shot. i wasnt accusin you of bein gay. nothin wrong with your opinion as far as i can tell. ur not the one here overcompensating.

Imagine with me if all men are gays? lolzz crazy idea i know but what if in the future this happened??

what could be your position?? :P

and another issue, how the human race will continue?

By chance i have this feeling, you know a lot about gays than uranus. Can you sense who is a gay or not

why so interested in everyones sexual orientation HCAS? this isnt a dating site. maybe you need to put an ad in the classifieds. besides i wouldnt marry a gay man as he is already taken.

the original post is all about how surprise someone was to find a book about the this. what does that have to do your personal life???

i didn't ask anybody if he is gay or not.

i just don't accept them,and it is my free opinion and it won't affect anybody.

and i don't bash them,"my opinion" is that they bash themselves.

We have in the company a gay and he is alone with age of 50 no kids and nothing.

so i don't like to bash them i feel sorry for them.

one_shot,

I think it is gayness if you cruise threads asking people if they are gay and then going WAY out of your way to say you are gay. not accepting gays or not accepting homosexuality is different from goin round and spendin so much time bashin gays. Its all about overcompensating.

Do you prefer marrying to a female or do you prefer marrying to a male.

Please answer only to my question and be serious with your answer

not sure what youre askin HCAS but sounds like you are cruisin this thread for a date!

yer right Uranus. nothing to be afraid of if your not interested cause there is no being tempted by somethin you dont want.

so it is gayness if u didn't accept gays??

AHHHH ....that is why i am Happy lolzz

Good night and have sweet gay dreams

Why are you so interested in my sexuality HCAS?

I don't have problem with gays, so I am not really offended by you calling me that. But studies show that people who are most vocal against gays are usually suppressing their own homosexuality . . .

What is your comment on this forum

forget about your suspect thing. Iam suspecting now that you are a gay. That is why you have brought this topic in the forum.

Who is your gay partner.

But i really like this forum of yours in one way. It really shows your deep interest for gays.

good post to uranus. i agree this is good PR in the end for the region . . . makes it seem less homophobic. probably good for WC 2022 tourism too. lots of liberals bashing Arab World for being so conservative and this guy gives a broader view.

people who bash gays so hard are just worried about their own sexuality . . . just desperate to prove theyre somethin theyre not ;-)

Babylon, Syria, and Egypt predate ancient Greece, as do your East Asian examples. Sounds like you're arguing against yourself.

Either way, the book certainly changed my narrow opinion of this region and I suspect it will change the views of other people around the world too.

Homosexuality started its earliest occurence from ANCIENT GREECE (WESTERN COUNTRY).

Homosexuality is most prominent in Greek architecture, such as the statues of nude individuals, particularly of men (as the male form was seen as magnificent).

Homosexuality was not restricted only to the western section of the world however, as it was also dominant in Ancient Japan and China, where male relations were given spiritual value and given the utmost respect. Homo-erotic art and poetry had much value in ancient times.

Yep, you've got it figured. Must be the De Montfort degree.

Now you will say PYRAMIDS is in EUROPE. Should i believe you.

Do a little bit of homework and then come to the class. This is what happens when you are really drunk. West is middle east for you and Middle east is West for you.

HCAS--are you saying that homosexuality was invented by the West? There is plenty of evidence if it existing in ancient Egypt, Babylon, Syria, and such--long before the West even existed as a culture.

i think he enjoyed in the barhini party that WK talked about.

so the number was not 127 it was 128 hehehehe

i know HIV originated from AFRICA. Iam only giving an example, that western disease is like HIV VIRUS. Anything stupid they do, it spreads quickly and over all the world.

HIV originated in Africa and I hope you are being sarcastic with your comments. Arabs are famous for chowing down on the gentleman sausage.

Does it say anywhere in the book Welcome to Bahrain and dont mind us shooting our own people or Welcome to Egypt and Mubarak trying to hold on to power having fiddled with the constitution to safeguard him and his seat or we are in the middle of a revolution in places like Libya, syria, jordan, yemen and the list goes on

i find this guy in the video or the author fake. gay thing is purely a western disease. it has nothing to do with middle east or africa.

swine flu was started from the western, so it is a western disease. bird flu was started from the western, so it is a western disease. homosexuality was started from the western, so it is a western disease.

western disease is like HIV virus. it really spreads quiet fast. we need to find out solution on how this disease can be controlled.

funny how all the ads on the page r for visiting India ;-)

No gays here, just ask Ahmed-dinner-jacket..... They say it's a western disease but out here they dont mind a bit of bum fun themselves

Cool ;-)
