Abu Dhabi urges non-Muslims to respect Islamic sensibilities, eschew immodest dress

And that's entirely reasonable. Remember: in Muslim countries, you should follow and respect the customs and practices of Muslims. And in non-Muslim countries, you should follow and respect the customs and practices of Muslims. Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Abu Dhabi: "Abu Dhabi in dress modestly plea to non-Muslims," by Anwar Ahmad for The National, July 21 (thanks to Kenneth):

ABU DHABI // Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority has urged non-Muslim visitors to dress conservatively during the day, avoiding short skirts, tight trousers and low-cut tops in public.

Swimwear is acceptable at private hotel beaches, but tourists should "use common sense in selecting swimwear" for public beaches, a spokesman said.

The authority has also requested that passengers take care when dealing with taxi drivers as many will be fasting while working.

Good etiquette requires people not to drink, eat or smoke in public.

"You can eat and drink in the privacy of your own room but please do not offer food or drink to a Muslim," the spokesman said.

Safiya Darweesh Al Qubaisi, cultural and handicraft development officer at the tourism authority, said: "One important benefit of fasting is that it helps you to understand the suffering and pain of the poor. It also allows human beings to understand how those who do not have enough money for a meal survive through the day."

Why does anyone goe to these islamic countries for holidays?
its time to stop.
How many times do you hear on the news about how a westerner has broken an islamic law on decency. Like not dressing your women head to foot in a bin bag, or holding your wifes hand in public.
Get real people. if you don't need to go there stay away. Before YOU break their law.

"... Good etiquette requires people not to drink, eat or smoke in public"


And if I dismiss the "etuqette?"

I will as an unbeliever anyway Q. 6:70 "drink (only) boiling water", and be Q. 4:56 "... cast into the Fire: as often as their (unbelievers) skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty"

While Muslims who Q. 4:57 "... do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath"

The authority has also requested that passengers take care when dealing with taxi drivers as many will be fasting while working.

Thank you, no: I prefer an assurance that my cabbie is neither thirsty nor hungry for religious reasons. The reasons for his low blood sugar cannot possibly be for me to take into consideration.

Otherwise all the rituals and rules and regulations and injunctions and prohibitions, each with their quaint Arabic title, are the usual quasi-military discipline to remind the faithful of their duty and keep them in line.

I agree w/ this. People going there even to work sounds desperate, given that they live a miserable existance while there. People going there for a vacation are out of their freaking minds!

Fasting helps one 'understand the pain and suffering of the poor?' Yeah, right, that's why the Ummah's Haves - the OPEC plutocracies - are swimming in cash, while other Muslim countries, such as Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Egypt, and several North African Muslim countries are poverty stricken. Like the Arabs fasting will do them any good!

Is there a bridge across the strait of Hormuz that I can buy?

Ramadan "... The fourth meaning of Ramadan is called "Sharpen" and "peaks" of the sword or the spear, to prepare for battle. The Muslim has to sharpen the sword during the fasting month of his reason and pointed the spear of his faith in order to understand better the truth of Islam and to fight well against all of its own internal and external enemies ready to. (unbelievers)

The Muslim has to be during the month of fasting and fasting for the perfection of his arm reinforced to stand up against all the enemies of Islam and the Islamic Society for the elimination of all forms of oppression, tyranny and injustice."


BUT after Ramadan (7th holy month):

9:5 "Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) wherever you find them"

(Muh. was a treaty breaker 9:4)


There is no "historical context", it is the word of Allah valid for ALL time!!

"..to dress conservatively during the day"!!!
Check out this nice "conservative" pink dress worn by the great prophet of islam.

I'll respect their ramadan. I'm sitting here naked as the day I was born eating a bacon, tomato, lettuce sandwich while drinking a beer. I will be eating all day doing what they don't want us to do, I might even burn a quran. This is not a muslim country, it is America, if they don't like it that we don't honor their sick, misguided, holiday they can go to a frickin muslim country. Ramadan is celebrate by idiots to a sick god anyway.
