There can be no justification for the death penalty. Trump's record on this is abysmal as the Central Park 5 link posted earlier shows.

Yes, I'm denying them because they are not 'facts'. You should try to get factual information from reputable sources not extreme websites.

Accidents happen. Did Putin mean to take out MH17?

I stand with the facts. There are no Sharia courts in the UK, other than in the fantasies of the Islamophobes. Sharia councils can issue informal rulings on family/marriage matters but cannot overrule UK courts. Hope this helps.

Some speculation that the Azerbaijan Airlines crash was due to a Russian missile/drone.

Sad to see the Islamophobia on this thread continuing unabated. 🙄

It has validity for those Muslims who adhere to it. No one else, except Islamophobes.

I disagree. It has no effect on your life, does on no way supersede UK law and is mainly used for settling family quarrels within the community, and only a limited to a small number of Muslims at that.

Hmm. The Labour government is so unpopular it is leading in the latest polls! Opinium Con 23% (-2) Lab 29% (nc) LD 11% (+1) Grn 10% (+1) Ref 22% (+1) Lab lead 6% 18-20/12 GB Techne 26% (+1) 27% (nc) 12% (+1) 7% (nc) 21% (-1) 1% 18-19/12 GB https://www.markpack.org.uk/155623/voting-intention-opinion-poll-scorecard/ Funny, how we don't hear much about that petition either any more!! 😅

FGM, like male circumcision, is not exclusively a Muslim practice and has nothing to do with Sharia.

It took 14 years to get a break from the Tories! Let's see how the UK feels at the next General Election.

True, there's a dire need for substance and backbone in British politics. Starmer and his government are by no means perfect, and I find it very frustrating that he/they don't have the backbone to get back into the single EU market, but what else is there?

Shock horror, the Daily Mail isn't happy with a Labour PM 🤣! Surely it's just a relief to be shot of the Tories.

They touched mine up with a black marker when I had my car checked for the annual tax. So, no, I'm sure it's not illegal.

Assuming you want to be a TEFL teacher, teaching English to adults of mixed nationalities, just doing a CELTA (or equivalent) is sufficient. There are plenty of TEFL jobs all over the world. But don't expect to earn much.

I think it's allowed on site, at official venues like horse racing, boxing and cock fighting.

Exactly - it's a fun festival and Thais like having fun! Merry Christmas everyone.

Indeed. Trump's inevitable decline (noticeable already) will be hushed up just like Biden's was! What else can they do?!

I've used and am using again, ThaiVisa Express. Excellent service. https://thaivisa-express.com/

It's celebrated for longer here in Thailand than it is back home! Trees and decorations go up, and Christmas music is played in malls, in October and stay up until February! A season of goodwill to all. Merry Christmas!

I didn't need a copy of my birth certificate when I last renewed my passport in Bangkok. Yes, you need proof of your address in Thailand, in English. Yes, every page needs to be copied in colour. But, in Thailand, you retain your passport while the new one is being issued.

So you're mean?

What about people sitting in the open part of the pick-up?

Why phones? A knife was used to stab the boy, not a phone!

Why wouldn't a Thai/Australian go to a prestigious private school??
