Saudi Arabia to non-Muslims: Respect Ramadan or else

Remember: in Muslim countries, you must respect Islamic practices and sensitivities. And in non-Muslim countries, you must respect Islamic practices and sensitivities. Islamic Tolerance Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: "Saudi warns non-Muslims: respect Ramadan or else," from The Associated Press, July 20 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Saudi authorities are warning non-Muslim expatriates against eating, drinking or smoking in public during Ramadan, the monthlong sunrise-to-sunset fast - or face expulsion.

The Interior Ministry of the oil-rich kingdom is calling on non-Muslims to "show consideration for feelings of Muslims" and "preserve the sacred Islamic rituals."

Otherwise, a statement says, Saudi authorities will cancel violators' work contracts and expel them....

Saudi Arabia, the ultraconservative Sunni kingdom, is the home of Islam's holiest sites. It enforces a strict interpretation of the religion.

Here yet again, for AP you're "ultraconservative" if you want to impose Sharia and "ultraconservative" if you oppose Sharia.

And conversely: in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries, Muslims must NOT respect non-Islamic practices and sensitivities.

Or, as Capt. Yossarian said: "That's some catch, that Catch-22."

I liked the bit where Saudis were encouraged to show consideration for the feelings of the Infidel and stop financing and pushing up mosques everywhere right in his face ......oh ....sorry, I got that wrong. My bad, it shall never happen again. Dear me, I could be mistaken for an islamophobe.

"show consideration for feelings of Muslims"

How's that for reciprocity?....you know, how the Saudis show consideration for the feelings of non-Muslims by arresting them when they meet for prayer or for publicly wearing crucifixes, how they confiscate their bibles and other holy books, etc.

Yep, this is the 'Golden Rule', Islamic style.


All dis-respecting Muslims go to London and enjoy the Olympics. Lots of Ale and Yorkshire and "no one" will tell the Saudi King..

Respect Ramadan?
Respect my stinking butt and what comes out of it!

I have noticed Muslims have a track record of not respecting other religions, therefore they will get no respect from me....

From the Article:

"The Interior Ministry of the oil-rich kingdom is calling on non-Muslims to 'show consideration for feelings of Muslims' and "preserve the sacred Islamic rituals."
_________________________________________________

Did you catch the barely-veiled supremacism?

They're demanding that even non-Muslims "preserve" the Islamic rituals.

So, though one might be an Infidel on their turf, we are, by default (whether we like it or not) preserving THEIR rituals!
_________________________________________________________

Therefore, we demand that Muslims in our land MUST preserve OUR rituals, such as New Years, President's Day, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, etc., etc., for those are
SECULAR rituals and the Muslims need to honor them.

Right?

Saudi Arabia to non-Muslims: Respect Ramadan or else
.........................

That's the sort of "respect" the Mafia demands...

More:

Remember: in Muslim countries, you must respect Islamic practices and sensitivities. And in non-Muslim countries, you must respect Islamic practices and sensitivities.
.........................

That's the essence of Muslim supremacy—and the way Islam has been able to use both Shari'ah states *and* the sensitive, "multi-cultural" West.

All that "consideration" is one-way, of course...

Not just in muslim counties anymore. The same goes here in the "not your father's "military.

The U.S. Military Judge presiding over the trial of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-defendants has suspended hearings at Guantanamo Bay "to avoid a conflict with the Muslim holy period of Ramadan."
The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, also granted that there would be no future hearings held on Fridays, because it's "a day on which many Muslims do not work."

Islam has absolutely no concept of Reciprocity. It is all about Taking, never Giving.

Islam knows only Dominance (and Muslims are supposed to Dominate, and Domineer, too, to the max) and Submission (all non-Muslims are supposed to cringe and grovel and be grateful and smile and say Thank you so much, you are so wonderful! even when the Muslim is mindlessly torturing them to death).

*Within* Islam there is no Reciprocity, either. Allah is the ultimate sadistic capricious oriental despot; Muslims grovel before allah in terrified submission, then turn round and, according to capacity, behave exactly like their conception of Allah, toward anybody weaker than themselves. I suspect that the penchant of Muslim males for little, little girls is just one manifestation of that sadistic drive for Total Domination, whose flipside is the rejection of anything one might call mutuality or equality.

Islam unlooses and sacralises the Bully, the Abuser, who laughs as he hurts others, but **howls** as if the universe is coming to an end, if anybody dares to hurt his precious self.

Islam doesn't acknowledge the Golden Rule. Theoretically, they're supposed to be nice to fellow Muslims and nasty to us dirty kuffar (see Surah 48: 29, and the principle of al wala wa al bara, Loyalty and Enmity); but being nasty is a bad habit to form, so they tend to be nasty to each other as well.

As a Christian I was taught to treat others the way I wished to be treated, and I generally do.

However, when it comes to celebrations that glorify hatred and death, which Ramadan does, I will call a spade a spade.

The Qu'ran is a collection of filth and hatred. You can see evil in those who adhere to it.

"Respect Ramadan or else"

Or else what?

Saudi Arabia to non-Muslims: Respect Ramadan or else
Well To Saudi Arabia;

F U

'Golden Rule', Islamic style. Good one. I'm going to add this to my lexicon.

I don’t think very many people realize that showing respect and deference to Muslim practices and sensitivities outside of Muslim countries is a form of submission to Islam, regardless of the Islamic holiday or the day of the year. This is especially true of those who know little about Islam and have not grasped the implications of granting such respect. They are more concerned with not wanting to hurt Muslim "feelings" than they are with the content of those feelings.

According to the cultural relativism most people are indoctrinated with today, alien "feelings" are sacrosanct and not to be troubled or offended. "Feelings," they are taught, are a tool of cognition, in themselves and in Muslims, so to offend Muslim feelings is to question a Muslim's world view, and a Muslim's world view – in which Allah owns everything and everyone and Mohammad was his prophet – is just as good as anyone else's. It must be respected. There is no such thing as an absolute, only perceptions of things filtered by a person's bias or prepossession or taste, and molded by one's culture, and so a Muslim's perceptions are just as valid as anyone else's. These perceptions cannot be judged because there are no absolutes by which to judge them. A host of Western philosophers have said so, such as Descartes and Kant and Hegel, and vetted by thinkers such as William James and Sartre and John Dewey and many lesser lights.

Who knows, ask the dhimmis-by-default when they bother to ponder the question, and who have never heard of Hegel or Kant or Descartes, Muslims might be right. "Muslims feel, therefore they exist," is how they might parody Descartes and characterize the Islamic mindset, if they dared to carry the thought to that point. Who is any non-Muslim to judge a Muslim, or what a Muslim believes? While what works for Muslims may not work for non-Muslims, that's just a matter of feeling and up-bringing. It just isn't practical to offend a Muslim's feelings. Who can blame them for rioting and killing when the cultures Muslims immigrate to are hostile to their confidence that theirs is the only true religion? Muslims must be cut some slack, and be accommodated whenever possible. Civilizational clashes must be avoided. How else can non-Muslims prove they are tolerant and civilized except by respecting Muslims on bent knee and bowed head?

The rumors that Islam is "eliminating" Western civilization by "sabotaging" it from within it are only half true. Thanks to a philosophy of unreason, promulgated by Western thinkers and taught in the best schools in the West, Western civilization is destroying itself "by its own hand." And the United States is proving to be very, very accommodating. It has even elected an unbroken succession of Accommodators-in-Chief, beginning with the Peanut Farmer.

That Brotherhood fellow Mohamed Akram was on to something.

"Otherwise, a statement says, Saudi authorities will cancel violators' work contracts and expel them...."

That's what else. Now, maybe all Westerners in Saudi Arabia should profess civil disobedience all at once. Expel them, why don't they ? They'll find their economy in tatters within the space of a just few weeks.

Let them have it, why not ?

They are getting more bolshy now they seem to have more power worldwide! A few years ago they wouldn`t have dared to make these demands!
Here in the West we`ve given in to them too much with the evil political correctness and multiculturalism!
We will regret that when they are given more and more powers through having too much say in the upper echelons of government and society! Wake up Britian, Europe and America!
We are walking into a nightmare, especially for the next generation!
