How the Arab world does it.

[Mr Pink]

• Don’t offer alcoholic drinks to an Arab, unless you’re certain that he drinks alcohol. This can cause great offence.
• Don’t walk on a prayer mat or in front of any person at prayer and try not to stare at people who are praying.
• Don’t try to enter a mosque without first asking permission. It’s unlikely that you will be allowed in.
• In Saudi Arabia, don’t try to enter the Holy sites of the areas surrounding Mecca and Medina. The roads are well signposted to notify everybody of this restriction. If a non-Muslim is found within the prohibited areas, he’s likely to be assaulted and will be afforded no protection against the assailants.
• Avoid blasphemy, particularly in the presence of Muslims and particularly in Saudi Arabia. Remember that there are many non-Gulf Arabs working in Dubai, who aren’t always as relaxed or tolerant as locals are.
• Avoid putting an Arab in a position where he might suffer a ‘loss of face’ in front of other Arabs. He will appreciate this, if he notices your action.
• Don’t beckon to people with a finger, as this is considered particularly impolite. Arabs might use such a gesture to summon a dog.
• Avoid shouting and displays of aggression or drunkenness at all times, as such behaviour is rarely tolerated.
• During Ramadan, don’t eat, drink or smoke anywhere where you can be seen by Muslims during the hours of daylight and don’t engage in any noisy behaviour or embrace or kiss anyone in public.

I don't disagree with any of the recommendations because, as a 'foreigner' in their country, why should I not abide by their customs and laws.

The point of this thread ?

WHY CAN'T WE DO THE SAME FOR MUSLIMS OR OTHER RELIGIONS IN THE UK ?

Why do we have to appease them, why do we bend over backwards to make other religions comfortable to the extent that we seem willing to dilute our own beliefs and customs to accomodate theirs.
Can you imagine what would happen to a white non-muslim in a Middle East country if they decided to cover their face and protest about that countries ethics, morals or religion. Imprisonment at best !!!

What is the benefit to the indiginous population that we have become a 'multi-cultural' society. Why is that something the Government thinks we should be proud of ?
