Diamond, this thread is not related to u, u r one of the precious ones like Amnesia and the Emir of this country. This is limited to the people who take traditions and make them as religion. All I am saying is that if a country is exposed as a strictly islamic country, such things should not happen. Islam is pretty open minded and there are alot of traditions in arab worlds that are not a part of Islam but are still considered as religion. I wasn't trying to provoke anyone, just talking some things that I've seen and came across and it only implies to those who do it. Take "marrying in gulf" part, Islam has given permission for a muslim to marry a christian or a jew, but over here I've even heard of cases such as the kids should only marry in the same family name... why is that?, its not like if they wont marry in the same family name or the same region they will go to hell, right?
