thug beating up my mother

lols, why do you guys increase your bp on a keyboard war. Shadow fighting I will say.

Bash........bash............and get bashed and get your bp go beyond the limit (for what?)

I know all those who are doing it, either bashing a culture, a nation or a religion.

dont say I did post on ...- i hijacked sounds better

I did post on Mimi's thread about the role of women in society in the MENA region.

I posted a link to an interview on Al Jazeera with a Qatari author who has written a book about... wait for it...

The role of women in society in the MENA region.

I guess that was also a hijack?

"MT i agree, at times one has no choice , as one of my uncles (dad's brother) is living in old home rehab , he is a stroke patient in canada, and his kids n wife visit him weekly...."

The same happened in my family when we had to put my grandmother in care because of her Alzhiemer's. She was just too violent and required medical attention that we were unable to give her. However my other grandparents lived with my Aunt and Uncle until they passed away, and even when my grandmother was dying of cancer she still stayed home with them. Most Westerners do take care of their extended family, UNLESS they have no choice due to medical reasons.

I'm relating your post back to Qatar,where as my post was related to abuse happened in UK - n this was not a hijack ?

n how many forums r posted related to news outside qatar why dont u bring them all those post back to qatar( neither was mimi's post related to qatar )

LMAO@ BG - stop digging boss, your already at the bottom, bottom feeder.

MT i agree, at times one has no choice , as one of my uncles (dad's brother) is living in old home rehab , he is a stroke patient in canada, and his kids n wife visit him weekly....

I am just saying at times it plays an important role when families stick together...and stays together

i dont wanna get into this east west war...i hate being labelled , and in return i cant do the same ....if i am saying asian have joint family systems and its good for elders and kids....it never implies that i m saying non asians are insensitive or culturally bad....i m just parising SOMEBODY (regardless of east /west)....liking one doesnt make u unlike something automatically....

How did I hijack?

Your post is about an elderly woman beaten up by a carer.

My post is about an elderly woman beaten up by a carer.

The only difference I can see is that you are posting about a woman in the UK, and I was posting about a woman in Qatar.

If I'm hijacking, I can only assume then that it's because I'm relating your post back to Qatar, and if this site is called Qatar Living, and I am pretty sure that it is, then when did Qatar related stories become 'hijacks'?

Lol BG u r one crazy monkey

u have ur freedom to post , i dint hijack or copy paste in between n what has happened here ?

Let's look at it this way. I posted an essay, by an Arab/Muslim woman, highlighting institutionalized, government sanctioned abuse of women across several countries that repeatedly goes unpunished and flies in the face of the religious texts these government say they follow, and, rather than discuss the issue, BG posts a random article about one old woman being abused in one nursing home in one country.

hmmmm.....

fubar, why you are getting so frustrated when someone is criticising the West. It is the same thing that the Asians are getting frustrated when the Weterners are criticising them. If you bash someone there will be someone to bash you too. Why do we give the stick to someone to beat us?

Because I don't believe anyone should be bashing any particular race or nation or country or gender or religion. It's intellectually lazy to just throw labels at different cultures and say 'they are all like this' or 'I've found one example of a bad thing in this country, therefore everyone and everything from there is bad'.

Surely we can debate things at a higher level, rather than such simplistic thinking.

hi hi, things are getting bit hot here I think.

you're the one I've been looking for... :-P

myhett & strom, sometimes families have no choice if they lack the medical ability to care of ailing parents. There are laws against nursing someone in the home if you can't provide them with the proper medical care. Especially with Alzheimer's patients as they tend to become violent.

if abuses can happen in the civilized west saudi doesnt matter

Thank God countries like the UK report this stuff and the perpetrators are punished. Too many countries especially in this region hide abuse in their homes and the victims have no one to turn to.

Take for instance abused women in Saudi, the refuges for them that do exist return them to their families so they can suffer more abuse. So many have to suffer in silence or take their own life as the only way out.

what westerners r civilized who said so ? beating sumones mother means civilized

i have seen it on BBC today,...and its kinda make me sick to stomach...how a helpless sick woman is being treated by the so called CARER.....

its nothing abt west or east...but mostly in asian cultures, parents live with the family , no matter how sick or bedridden they are, and they can never be treated like this.....thats the beauty of the families that stays together in any circumstances....

Well because we Western people honestly, truly believe that our countries are perfect, and nothing bad EVER happens to anyone. You know, because we're civilized etc. Whereas your thread was saying that ALL women in the Middle East are oppressed and subjugated.

Isn't lucky the world is so black and white. Imagine a world with shades of gray... scary.

Not sure what an unfortunate story about an elderly woman being beaten in a home in the UK has to do with my post, but ya, I know what you're talking about Fubar.

But isn't that par for the course here? Rather than address and tackle issues, they try and place blame elsewhere or distract from the topic at hand. Sad really.

Yes I do or things that are about people who live in Qatar.

domestic abuse we r talking abt

fubar ur hijack was coz u got upset with me and i m a regular poster i dont get upset n post

LMFAO BG You Retard....

We all know he's only posted this forum because he got upset with your thread Miss Mimi.

But she was also slapped repeatedly, man-handled, verbally abused and jeered at.

they are cilivilized people, we the Asians, Africans and ME are the cultureless, non cilivilised one. so please dont write anything against them...

see the reaction from Fubar, and MAMI.... they dont like it...

i bash the west its the poor west bashing the west if u read the article

Fubar, You're making it very difficult for BG to bash the West if you keep posting things about Qatar.

Missteacher, Are we posting everything here which are linked or related to Qatar? Is there any such rules in the forum?

lol fubar!

fubar post ur stories on another forum keep my forum clean

I thought he was referring to this case:

Slain woman’s maid plotted crime: police

Police say the mastermind of a burglary and murder of an 82-year-old Qatari woman was her maid.

The Qatari widow was killed on February 4 by two men who entered her house in Salata Jadeed with the intention of burglary.

The Arabic daily Arrayah quoted official sources as saying the Ethiopian maid, who has since been arrested, was in league with the two men and had pre-planned with them the criminal act.

The police were able to arrest her partners in crime and recover the stolen goods on the basis of the information provided by her.

Crucial information has been unearthed by officers of the criminal investigation department about the murder.

“On the night of the incident the maid telephoned them around 2am to inform them that the lady of the house was alone and sleeping in her bedroom. They immediately reached the house and entered the main room after breaking open the gate. They hurriedly began to search for valuables in every room and were aiming at the cabinet in which the lady had kept her expensive jewels,” the sources said.

“However, the Qatari woman woke up because of the noise and confronted them but they struck her with a knife on her neck. After confirming that she was dead they pushed her bleeding body to the bathroom and hurriedly collected whatever they could and fled,” the sources said.

“Before leaving they inflicted some minor bruises on the maid to create the impression that she resisted them.”

While the woman was being attacked the maid came down and woke up the cook and asked him to call the police.

The investigating officers resorted to psychological tactics with the maid and continued questioning her patiently focusing on the bruises on her hands. After sustained questioning, the maid broke down and confessed to her crime. The purpose of the operation was to steal valuables from the house but because of old woman resisted she was murdered, the maid said in her statement.

She also disclosed the identity and the whereabouts of the two men who committed the murder. The officers arrested them and recovered all the stolen articles.
