No you do not sound selfish at all, you are right. When a minority hate, yes we get angry but on the Istanbul chat so many people was sticking up to Islam and that's what I love
Couldn't have done with without you and Mandy and it means a lot xx
I actually had fun yesterday with you too xx even though some things were just too low and mean

I know, some people making fun of it but still the humanity isn't missing in most of us. Obviously they will stand up for Istanbul as they are my friends who have commented there. I have sent pm's to 100 people and 99% of them replied there. And that was really sweet of them. And I have met soo many great muslims here on IF. And whatever hate they have about Islam, I don't care. As we are growing bigger and bigger! And that is the truth! ❤️

exactly same here I made so many Muslims and non Muslim friends here and all have been so supportive over my religion and other religion and that is what I love
This is the first time of IF I came across someone saying something so low about Islam such as the zoo statement but oh well, it's the minority so who cares

The only thing I need on IF are my supportive friends and that's who I have and all I need ❤️

Don't worry dear ! Even the very last person on this world would be a muslim! (I mean, even when there will be only one person left in this world will be a muslim) Those ISIS are making jokes of our religions and people only believe them more than us. Then i dunno what to say. Just because they are saying they are muslims, what are we then ? 🤓

I honestly dont know why Dubai is such a tourism hub... What do they have to offer other than a bunch of shiny new buildings and malls that are aplenty in Europe or North America or China?
I have been here twice... I remember the first time i was really excited ..i guess i was thinking k i m going to gulf version of London or NYC but i kind of deflated on the way from dxb airport... I havent even be to the top of Burj Khalifa... My husband went once and said k the view is over rated... I believe him..
Maybe now that i m here, i ll have the oppurtunity to see some culture? The old dubai .. The real culture and not this shiny new toy...

Maybe i feel like this because i m from lahore... They is so much that is packed into that one city.. islamabad is kind of our dubai (though no where near as modern ) all new houses and boring people going to the same handful of restautants and those same 2-3 shopping hubs ... Pffft


Having said that, i do enjoy the malls here 😆 especially in such heat .. You dont have to go far for entertainment... Stuff like ski dubai ( we were actually thinking of doing the penguin experience for her birthday but the minimum age for that is 3) or the fountain or dino or aquarium... Then there is kidzania and little explorer... Plenty of stuff for maryam to do until autumn when we ll probably have a look at the wild wadi and all that...and i love the variety in cuisine!! DCC is one of the smaller malls and you have hatam's and pf chang and nandos and chili's and a bunch if continental restaurants all in one space

But i guess it is a pretty great work wise .. And the facilities provided ... Metro is great... If it works, we probably wont even get a car ... Living here is not as expensive as i thought..rent is the biggest expense (and then probably schooling yikes) but stuff like groceries and utilities are very reasonable...
And i like the multicultural aspect definitely...
I have been here 10 days and met a Belgian, a south african, a keralite, ... Philipinos are every where... Its good .. And i think this kind if exposure will be good for Maryam in the long run...


My husband's brother also lived here but now they are moving to england for their kid's university... He told us that the dubai is great place to live and all that but they made a mistake staying here for 6 years .. Should have moved to europe long ago... He told us to stay here for 3 years and then go to europe or australia or canada .. Whereever we can...lets see where life takes us..

@Arwen- It's a tourist spot because of malls and shopping experience and it's desi , so people from South Asia enjoy it .But the major revenue is all from hotels, malls and things like that. Rest is concrete jungle.
