MADRID - Imitation Barcelona shirts sold in Saudi Arabia have a club emblem doctored to exclude the St George's Cross, the municipal flag of the Spanish city, La Vanguardia newspaper reported Saturday.

The Barcelona-based daily, citing Spanish residents in the Saudi capital Riyadh, said the horizontal bar to the red cross on white background had been omitted from the shirts' badges.

Club officials in Barcelona were not immediately available for comment.

La Vanguardia said that the club had been informed of the sale of fake shirts in Muslim countries, notably with the altered cross of Sant Jordi, but thought they were not sold in shops.

The paper said the alteration was down to a fear of offending Muslims by the cross' connotation to the Crusades during the 12th and 13th centuries when English soldiers adopted the St George's Cross as they attempted to take Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule.

So FuNnY...yet SAD.

After that they brag about women's rights in the Middle East (and especially S.A.)

*SIGH*

Thank You America !

In da US, Saudis feel kinda inferior due to some reasons, among them:

- The fear of getting kicked outta country and hence losing scholarships. So they simply "walk beside the wall" ;)

- Facing trouble issuing/renewing their VISAs. :D



what a sarcastic life cycle, in KSA they (Saudis) are persecuting others. And here in America nature is playing it's role by taking revenge on Saudis.

Thank you America. :D

When will Arabs (especially Saudis) realize that everybody is equal?.. Indians, Philippines, Germans, Brazilians, Indonesians, South Africans...etc.?


We're all humans, aren't we?

Saudi theater scuffle

By Charlene Gubash, NBC News Producer

Theatergoers in Saudi Arabia gave new meaning to interactive theater when they mounted a stage to punch, hit, kick and whack actors with planks during a performance.

The television network al Jazeera broadcast video Tuesday of Muslim militants attacking actors during a play whose theme was both anti-extremist and anti-liberal

The incident occurred about a month ago when the actors were performing at Al Yamamah College in Riyadh during a college-sponsored culture week.

The play, titled "Moderates Without Moderation," portrayed Saudi society as being both hijacked by religious extremists -- fanatics who advocate violence, terrorism, and fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and liberals who ape everything the West has to offer, good or bad. The play’s theme went on to contend that extremism on both the left and the right has left Saudi moderates with a lack of identity and direction.

The incident came after Islamists got wind of a play "against Islam." Some of the attackers, who were not students, were sentenced and jailed, but all have been released. Nobody was seriously injured as a result of the scuffle.

After the incident, the college performed "Moderates Without Moderation" before invitation-only audiences. 

Ibrahim Malik, the director of marketing and public relations for the college, said that this kind of incident has happened before in Saudi Arabia, and urged the government to do more to prevent similar occurrences. Islamists have previously issued death threats to comedians who lampoon terrorists and religious fanaticism. 

Malik suggested that the jailed attackers were released quickly because Saudi courts, which are based on religious law, tend to be lenient in such cases. He said the college was surprised to find out during the investigation that the ringleaders didn't even know the name of the play, and had acted only because they had heard it was against religion. 

Malik stood by the school’s decision to perform the play and said that "the university believes, as an educational institution, that they have the goal and objective to play a major role in confronting this type of trend."

Empire State went GrEen..!

Well, this wasn't planned to be in the list, but after the Empire State went green, I have decided to share what I wanna share. Let's read:
===========

For the first time in its history, the Empire State Building in New York was lit in green in celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.

It will be green till Sunday.

So far, the landmark tower has been lit in traditional colours every year only on the occasion of Christmas and the Jewish festival Hannukah. From this year on, lighting on Eid too will become an annual event.

At the end of Ramadan, Muslims throughout the world celebrate for three days to mark the end of Ramadan. In Islam, the color green symbolizes a happy occasion.

Soaring 1,454 feet above Midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building was recently named America's most favorite building in the poll conducted by American Institute of Architects.

============

Now in the west, ppl celebrate Muslims' occasions. And by the way, this is true, I am in NYC, the building was green during "Eid"....Some might wonder why I am angry or dissatisfied. Well, I'm so happy that ppl of the Empire State did what they did, but when we think about it from a slightly different angle, things are different !.....

In the Middle East and the entire Islamic countries, I can bet my life if they are willing to do such a thing in a Jewish or Christian occasion. To make it easier, in Xmas (for ex.) they will never ever put a big Xmas tree in the middle of a city's square or circle, not even a tiny one...Even if this city has a good number of Christians..!!....Not only this, it makes me laugh when I hear their justifications!..they keep saying stuff like "That's a Muslim nation....We should never express any joy during such celebrations..."


My Non Arab, Non Muslim buddies....I encourage you to ask your Arabian friends about this....Saudi, Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt...anywhere, never celebrate any non-Muslim event.

A whisper in your ears, "I do not blame them, because that is their religion and its teachings....no matter how hard a moderate one tries to polish its image, if their man was living now, he'd absolutely endorse their behaviors."

Funny (yet sad) Divorce..!

Dear Non-Arab, Non-Muslim friends...I'm starting this to show you some of the many things that make me scorn (...........) you know what I mean. I'll start from the most recent thingie:

Saudi Divorces Wife for Watching Man on TV?

Khaleej Times runs this strange little piece, an Agence France Press story taken from the Saudi daily Al-Shams. Seems to me that the guy was looking for a reason to divorce his wife and came up with a doozy. It is a fact, though, that Saudi men can divorce their wives at will while women must go through the courts.

Saudi divorces wife for watching male TV host

RIYADH - A Saudi man divorced his wife for watching alone a television programme presented by a male, an act he deemed immoral, the Al Shams newspaper reported on Saturday.

The man, whom the paper did not identify, ended his marriage on the grounds his wife was effectively alone with an unrelated man, which is forbidden under the strict Islamic law enforced in the ultra-conservative kingdom, the paper said.

Men in Saudi Arabia have the authority to divorce their wives without resort to the courts.
