No, I'm a homosexual. Would you like me to remind you what they do to people like me over there again? I quoted it for you earlier in this thread.
LOL.. Oh.. well there are very active homosexual communities in most large cities in Arabia.. and they don't kill or imprison gays in Arabia. Further, I have known many expat homosexuals.. . doctors, teachers and other professionals who work in KSA. - - - Updated - - - Its not legal... Its ignored unless you have sex in the street or molest children..
There were also very active Russian Orthodox communities in the Soviet Union. How many of them are openly gay? Child marriage is legal, though rare, in Saudi Arabia.
Duh! Ya think. Who did not already know that? Islam in general, and the Saudi's in particular, hate the west and act in many ways to destroy us. They are our enemy and have committed lock, stock, and barrel to destroy us.
Homosexuality in Arabia is like it was in the US in the 1950s and 1960s.. Its there and you meet gays socially, but there aren't gay parades.. Historically girls couldn't marry until after their first mense.. now days women tend to marry between 17 and 25.. and they have a very high divorce rate. - - - Updated - - - Saudi certainly don't hate the West.. Not at all. How long did you spend there.. and what part of the country were you in?
BS. Seriously, you're really starting to try my patience. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia I'll not be visiting Saudi Arabia- ever. Thanks.
I don't think we really want to know how deep the Saudis were involved. I meant that in a "homeland" kind of tone. Like, it's probably not good... However, Bin Laden was caught financing it too. So there lies the question of why (if it's true) the Saudis?
As I've said before, the Saudis are not idiots. They know to make sure their regime survives, and that is to avoid getting the west angry.
Some homosexuals and transgenders like to ramp up their victim status... KSA will pay for gender reassignment surgery.. Promoting homosexuality is frowned upon.. Do YOU promote homosexuality in the US?
I damn well stand up for myself, yes. You can't "promote" homosexuality. That's like "promoting" being left-handed. It's not something you can change. It's not a club you join. Wow- I am really disappointed. You know better than this.
The Saudis had NOTHING to gain from 9-11.. and they certainly didn't want to provoke the West into a regional war against Muslims.. But, you have to hand it to the high-jackers.. they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.. Westerners now hate and fear Muslims and terrorism has made great gains.. Whole websites and careers are devoted to bashing Islam.. and now we have ISIS.
That is true, the hijackers successfully carried out a terrorist act, to the true definition of "terrorism". To strike fear and paranoia. However, the terror cells in A-stan and other nations still share their same goal-more terror. I think the Saudis are good people, but I think there are terrorists within their ranks....
I was wondering HOW you would promote homosexuality.. I have known many inside Arabia, at school in Europe and here in the states.. It was never a topic of discussion...
the Saudis fund extremists left and right, from Al Qaeda, to Al Nusra, to probably ISIS. and they definitely had a hand in 9-11, in order to get the USA to take out Saddam.
Oh, I bet it definitely wasn't discussed in Arabia, since any material discussing it is banned. What they mean by "promote" is basically anything that discusses homosexuality in any other light than negative.
There are lots of people who don't discuss their sexuality.. Some Americans consider it to be in poor taste...
Yes, but it's not a law that you can't in America, Margot. It's very important to discuss sexuality for medical reasons too. Wow- you spin almost as well as a conservative.
Twitter is not a discussion.. its social media. I have had many interesting discussions with Saudis over the years... When I was doing community theater in Arabia some young Saudi diplomats used to attend our cast parties and they were gay. They were also wonderful cooks. - - - Updated - - - Are you a doctor?? If not, my sex life is NONE of your business.
Margot- knock it the hell off. Your spin is getting seriously old. Quit making excuses for what you know is quite wrong and unacceptable for most people regarding Saudi Arabia. I have posted very specific things for you, yet all you can do is get on the denial and spin train. It's disingenuous and not like you at all.
You have posted crap from people who want to be perceived as victims.. For the most part homosexuality is IGNORED in Arabia as it was in the US up until somewhat recently. If you want to be flamboyant and in people's face because you are gay then KSA is not for you, but the reality is that you have to be dumber than a box of rocks to get into trouble in Arabia,,
