Can you ring him anyway just to see if he knows?

He said he doesn’t know but he will ask a friend of a friend. I’ll let you know if I hear back from him.

Sorry we don’t want to hear about him either. Try China.

In Lebanon we actually have a thriving beer production industry (Almaza, Laziza brands) because Lebanon has both christian and muslim arabs. Many other Arab countries have no restrictions on alcohol. The most famous christian of all time was actually a Palestinian from the Middle East called Jesus. We love him here as much as we love Mohammad by the way.

He asked about the Middle East as a whole. Dubai is blessed by wonderful leadership.

Come to the Middle East and see for yourself how the women are treated. Ask them their opinion directly. The only opinion that matters in this debate is their opinion no?

Judea is modern day Palestine for us. I know you call it something else but this is a different argument altogether.One that we are not going to settle here for sure. We love him nonetheless, and we revere him as much as we revere Mohammad and Moses.

True. It is like saying Julius Ceaser was Italian. Semantics.

I appreciate you fighting your corner and I daresay some of the points raised are valid. It's good to hear from 'the other side' (for want of a better expression) so I hope you continue posting.

 

Suggesting only three people died definitely loses credibility though, and not gonna lie, being told all the work I put in isn't worth £3 a month did sting. I mean, two match reports a week, having to watch MOTD even when we've lost and then write about all the other games, as well as keeping a weekly diary, and its not worth the price of less than a pint? Ouch.
