Still Waters Posted August 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Saudi Arabia is planning to build a new city exclusively for women as it bids to combine strict Sharia law and career minded females, pursuing work. It is thought the Saudi Industrial Property Authority (Modon) has been asked to bring the country up to date with the rest of the modern world with the controversial city, which is now being designed with construction to begin next year. It is hoped it will allow women’s desire to work without defying the country’s Islamic laws. http://www.dailymail...sue-career.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSS Posted August 12, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Who'd have thought women were so powerful...I mean you scare some men so much that they go so far as to build an entire city for you to keep you away from men, and have spent many many lifetimes constructing laws and mindsets to try and control you. When I think of women it makes me smile, when others think of them they device new ways to try and control them.....so many sad little men on this planet. It won't happen in my lifetime but t would be nice to think a time will come when I don't have to share a planet with these backward half-wits. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted August 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2012 When I first read this my thoughts were why can't you just let them prosper right where they are and stop letting sharia law dictate everything. However this could be a first step for women, once you have a little freedom its hard to go back so they may start demanding more freedom. Don't tell the Saudi's I said this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickian Posted August 12, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well considering the alternative, segregation might be preferable to women over there. Who is going to be allowed to leave to live there though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveBronfman Posted August 15, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Doesn't make it right. Muslims are constantly trying to change other societies culture but never accept change themselves. I'll give you two recent examples; Italy; Top Italian hotel OK's Muslim porter won't have to take orders from woman boss Named one of the top 500 hotels on the planet, the 5-Star Hotel Danieli of Venice, Italy has played host to the likes of Johann von Goethe, Richard Wagner, Honoré de Balzac, Charles Dickens and Emile Zola. A one night stay in this swankiest of Venetian hotels runs the range of $12,198.88 (£7,747.29) to $308.05 (£195.64) per night. It must cost that much in order to hire a go-between for a Muslim porter who refuses to take orders from his female supervisor. USA; Muslim Employee Suing Disney Over Right to Wear Hijab A Muslim woman who worked as a hostess at a Disneyland restaurant is suing Disney, claiming the company wouldn't let her appear in front of guests while wearing her headscarf. Muslim logic, including your own over Mecca, goes something like this; "When Westerners come to Muslim countries they must abide by our traditions but when we go to Western countries Westerners must ALSO abide by our traditions including changing their own to suit us." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveBronfman Posted August 15, 2012 #18 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yeah, there's lots of evidence it was a Hindu shrine. There's an ancient Indian inscription in the Kaaba which means; ..Fortunate are those who were born (and lived) during king [Vikramaditya’s] reign. He was a noble, generous dutiful ruler, devoted to the welfare of his subjects. But at that time we Arabs, oblivious of God, were lost in sensual pleasures. Plotting and torture were rampant. The darkness of ignorance had enveloped our country. Like the lamb struggling for her life in the cruel paws of a wolf we Arabs were caught up in ignorance. The entire country was enveloped in a darkness so intense as on a new moon night. But the present dawn and pleasant sunshine of education is the result of the favour of the noble king Vikramaditya whose benevolent supervision did not lose sight of us - foreigners as we were. He spread his sacred religion amongst us and sent scholars whose brilliance shone like that of the sun from his country to ours. These scholars and preceptors through whose benevolence we were once again made cognisant of the presence of God, introduced to His sacred existence and put on the road of Truth, had come to our country to preach their religion and impart education at king Vikramaditya’s behest..."

In Spain, Muslem Universities allowed students of all religions. Heck a future pope studied there, his name is Gerbert d'Aurillac who became Sylverter II studied in Toledo in 982/3. He promoted the study of Arab/Greek mathematics, philosophy art and astronomy. Thanks to him, another Benedictin Clunisian monk had the Coran translated in latin. When then the entire thing changed? I'm not familiar with the changes past 1350 because my research goes before that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the Catholic Cathedral of S'audi Arabia? if a country is 97% muslims .. should i bring you jews and christians from mars and put them in saudia ? you actually want to know or you just wanna argue without making any sense ? and most of the christians or non-muslims in saudia are outside workers who came to work there but the laws of saudia does not forbid non-muslims from going anywhere EXCEPT mecca my suggestion .. if you don't know something you shouldn't talk about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBronfman Posted August 16, 2012 #25 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Okay so 3% aren't Muslim according to your data. Therefore there should be at least a few Churches or Hindu Temples. Please list their addresses. Let's put this in context. Norway is about 3% Muslim and there's over 100 Mosques. Please provide details of even 1 Church or Temple in S'audi Arabia without making excuses. Here is the Address of the Islamic Cultural Centre Mosque in Norway; Tøyenbekken 24 0188 Oslo, Norway 21 38 00 00 Also non-Muslims are banned from Medina too.
