    Well, that's how you personally find it.

    However, the Islam is NOT a violent religion. Read about it and you will not use prejudices and stereotypes.

     

     

    You are saying?

     

    VERSES TELL THE TALE

    The Quran is replete with Surahs directing its followers to violence.

    Some examples follow:

    Surah 3:151: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) …"

    Surah 2:191: "And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them … kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Muslims)."

    Surah 9:5: "Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …"

  2. I have been reading today on Asean Now about the new DTV visas, as up to now with having a long term O visa followed by extension of stays, I have not paid much attention.

     

    It does seem , once you are in possession of one, to be a much better visa deal than those we are on with extensions of stay.

     

    There is no Re entry permit,  it is for five years and the money in the bank option seems to be 500K, 300K better than my extension of stay, not that I ever use the 800K,nor would I use the 500K it stays there permanently 

     

    With five years, I would not be at immigration every year begging extensions of stay, and the costs for such a DTV visa are negligible.(10,000 baht)

     

    Now, I would hardly be applying at 62 for a Muay Thai visa, but surely a soft power visa based on cooking classes and skills could be acceptable, couldn't it?

     

    Are there such places to enrol for cooking classes in Isaarn?

     

    The only downside I see, is applying in country of origin, unless it can be done and applied for over here in Asia?

     

    To retirees, is there something I am not seeing here in this package?  What are the downsides?

     

    Have any retirees moved or are considering this option in the near future?

    British Pakistanis flip flop with their identity. If it suits them or they are in trouble with the British authorities the they use their Pakistani passports and skip to Pakistan. Then if they are in trouble in Pakistani they always use their British passport to skip back to the UK.

     

     

    Absolutely spot on, and it's been going on for an age of time.

     

    Many of them have second homes in villages over there, as escape pods and bolt holes.

    Thank you for the pointer. I had not seen the arabic script on the upper walls, and had just seen it as "decoration".

    It now becomes obvious to me why the Indians so easily listened to their Pakistani brothers  and I  am certain they share a common set of beliefs.

     

     

     

     

     

    Why would they follow Pakistani brothers?   

     

    As a rule, they don't trust them. Nor do they share common beliefs.

     

    That script is for Muslims, the majority of Indians as we know them follow Hinduism and Sikhism.

       Are you one of those guys that goes into a bar, a no smoking bar and stands in the bar doorway with his legs in the bar and his head and right hand outside the bar leant over and sparks up a cigarette and says "What , I'm smoking outside" as all the exhaled smoke wafts into the bar ?

     

     

    I don't smoke, I don't like the habit.

     

    I don't vape or anything else either.

    It is called manners.

     

    You friend was lacking them. 
     

    Funny you apologizing for him when his friend at the scene was apologizing for him. 
     

     

     

    Not my friend, I have no idea who the guy is.

     

    I am not apologizing for anybody.

     

    Here you go again changing facts and the story, do you have difficulty reading?

     

    Maybe his friend just thought it would be more sensible to walk away from a storm in a teacup and was diffusing the situation?
