Jinfash: tell me about being a muslim and living in Saudi Arabia

[Himu]

What is it like?

Do you have interesting pics of S.A. you can show us?

[Beardo]

You have to wear a turban and you cant smoke pot.

[Tieno]

How do you feel about not drinking and seeing naked titties?

How's the women beating?

[Himu]

you can't??

[Himu]

How do you feel about not drinking and seeing naked titties?

most alcohol tastes like shit and getting drunk sucks anyways, nobody said anything about naked titties!

[Beardo]

My dream is to one day live in a country where I can lock school girls in a burning building and watch as they all die because they weren't properly dressed.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

you can't??

Dude, this guy got jailed for 4 years in DUBAI for having 0.003g of pot on the bottom of his shoe.

[CurseoftheGods]

How do you feel about not drinking and not seeing naked cleavage?

Do you like beating women?

Sorry to disappoint you, but wife beating is illegal in SA. :'(

But that's Dubai.

But it's not beating when it's just a sort of hard push.  Rough tapping is probably the right word.

[CurseoftheGods]

rough tapping

[Himu]

omg

The Parks of Saudi Arabia

[Himu]

not even a hug?

what if it's a guy? You can't hug a guy?

[Tieno]

I was right.

[CurseoftheGods]

not even a hug?

what if it's a guy? You can't hug a guy?

You can hug a dude.

[Himu]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah

[bud]

is marriage the only way if you want to lose your virginity? when are you getting married? will you marry your niece?

i'm guessing the answer ot the first question is ''yes''

[Himu]

Oh yeah you can hug guys as much as you want, and strangely you can walk with your male friend holding hands and people won't think it's weird

something worth noting, there are five prayers a day. dawn, noon, afternoon, dusk, and evening.

during those times all stores and shops closes as a way to prompt people to perform them and allow the shop keepers to do so too.

But it's not like prayer is long.

How long are the prayers in Saudi Arabia?

[Don Flamenco]

Without liquor how do you guys experiment with your sexuality?

cough syrup

[Himu]

What type of porn do you watch jinfash? As a future-muslim, I am taking notes

[Himu]

Yes, both male and female "should" be virgins around marriage. I know it seems hard, but that's why people encourage marriage at an early age. (a couple of guys from my highschool got married during second year)

It's one of the very few things I disagree with in Islam.

[bud]

durr nm

[Himu]

A lot of comes from culture more so than the actual religion though. What the religion teaches is totally different from what some people do, and I just try to ignore what they do. Like the people who split up prayer rooms in mosque's by sex. I just don't get that. But when you read about Muhammad, women and men prayed side by side.

Jinfash where did these cultural things start to emerge? Where did they go from every one praying together to separating by sex, or is the separation by sex thing just an American Muslim thing?

[Beardo]

Is there only one pattern of cloth for head garb in Saudi Arabia?

[Himu]

smh

[Himu]

I'm almost sure though that men and women shouldn't mix together while praying, first lines go to the men then followed by women only to prevent men from staring at the women's asses when bending

I just think this is wrong. Have more self restraint;etc.

A good amount of the stories I read make it seem like these dudes don't appreciate the beauty of the female body or the beauty of sex period. You can appreciate without being a perverted freak.

There's nothing wrong with being aroused. That's natural. Some of these dudes take that too far and act like being aroused itself is a sin. Lighten up.

Woman in the back of the bus.

Edit: Are women allowed to ride buses there?

[Greatness Gone]

I'd probably suicide bomb my way to hell if I lived there.

[Tieno]

Jinfash, have you lived abroad? Your parents?

[Himu]

I know what you do in Saudi Arabia doesn't represent all of Islam, but a lot of the culture that has come from immigrant Muslims has carried over to Muslim life over here in the states. So when I go to a mosque I find it incredibly insensitive that women must pray in a separate room - often in considerably worse shape - just because some dude is scared of getting a woody.

But like I said, these issues related to sex seem to be more cultural than having any relation to the religion itself which some have actually seen to be as if it is tied to the religion.

When I read about Muhammad I'm like,"That's how you do it."

As I read through the Qur'an I've just had a totally different interpretation than some others, which from what I know, is good because you're supposed to have your own interpretations and not rely on anyone else.

Have you read about the American Muslim women? At mosques they often have to deal with being put in the attic for their praying, with no place to put their children so they often pray in uncomfortable areas full of crying and doo doo slingin'. It's just not right.

Ijtihad is strong.

You'd be surprised if I told you my personal theory. I think what most of these teachings do is force you to get aroused by anything femininely related, they want you to be like that and to them that's the norm. They consider others who don't "enjoy" this trait to be desensitized less of men, but that's just my view.

I feel that isolation only brews curiosity, curiosity brews things people wouldn't normally do if they were already viewed as socially acceptable.

Read my last post itt.

[Himu]

Jinfash, have you lived abroad? Your parents?

yeah in the US. My dad got his Bachelor, Master, and PhD degrees there.
I was actually born in Denton, Texas.

a fellow texan

[Himu]

I love how the Qur'an appears to have various contradictions but you have to sort those out and see what really lies beneath the text.

[Beardo]

Am I interrupting a circle jerk?

[Fresh Prince]

It's pretty obvious Jinfash has come to evilbore for the purpose of enlisting Himuro into his terrorist cell.

[Greatness Gone]

Are people like me beheaded and stomped upon with iron cleats there?

[Fresh Prince]

Saudi is a good place to live if you're not Indian or Filipino.

[castle007]

Congratulations Himuro

It's weird that they don't consider what women would think...who's to say women aren't staring at guys' butts and getting aroused as well?  Double standard, no? 

[Bildi]

So when you're doing the daily prayer things:

1) What do you say during the prayer?
2) Ever sneaked a look at someone's ass?

[laesperanzapaz]

i am curoius too

1. if you profess your atheism, what is the punishment
2. if you leave islam as your religion, what is the punishment
3. if you are a transvestite, waht happens to you?
4. if you are a trasnvestite who recently turned male, then successfully got a driver license on account of your male looks, then got into some accident, appeared before a court, and the court finds out you were born female but became male, what happens

[Cormacaroni]

So Muhammad squeezed out a salty tear while stoning a woman. What a softie.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

my college friend is from Ohman, and he say's they don't smoke pot....they smoke HASH.

And it's cheap.

But it's automatically 2 years to prison for that.


Ever been there jinflash?

[CurseoftheGods]

Oman.

in iran, to my understanding, this is quite common.  transsexuals, rather than transvestism and it's socially acceptable.

do you or your father own an ak47?

Sexy.

Do you wash your headgear with colours or whites?

[CurseoftheGods]

does you or your father own an ak47?

smh

[brawndolicious]

In Iran, women can drive.  My Iranian-raised friends say that fornication and abortion is also allowed.  It's a male-dominated society still though with the scarf law sporadically enforced and the unfair divorce laws.

So Muhammad squeezed out a salty tear while stoning a woman. What a softie.

Jesus > Mohammed

bored atheist thoughts on divinity:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think the point of the story is that he was a humanitarian compared to back then.  Mohammad also at least made up an entire book so you have to give him the creative edge.  What did Jesus do directly for to society?  It's interesting that pretty much the entire religion was made 300 years later by Constantine and the Council of Nicaea.  There's very little christian dogma from christ so you have to consider in a divinity show-off.

[close]

I don't buy that either of them were religious btw.

[drozmight]

you can't??

you gotta do valium instead.

if i lived in the middle east id be packin one of these:

this will be the last thing you see before your chainsaw spills light green molecular acid all over your body and turns you into smoke

[laesperanzapaz]

1. does it make you boil in anger that the owner of this forum, even an icon, are both of the enemy yiddish decent?

2. if iran had no nukes, who would win between them and Saudi arabia?

[drozmight]

How is it Evilbore isn't blocked by Saudi Arabian firewalls.  Is 4chan open there?

[cloudwalking]

damn, jinfash is a cool guy to answer everyone's questions, even the ones that are poking fun. respect.

Agreed. Respect +100.
