Hello,
I have been trying to delete the username but everytime I click the delete button and click the "Delete" check box and then click ok in the popup and then click update in the profile It still doesn't work.
Could the admin or mods please delete it for me.
I am a muslim and to be honest I believe that the United States has every right to refuse entry to whomever they please and as was mentioned before interrogating those two is much more logical than some 90 year old granny. They fit the profile of a terrorist perfectly. They travelled on September 11...
Jump to post"The Muslim leaders in America or elsewhere have still not come out and openly condemned 9-11" I agree that the muslim community should've been more vocal but to say that muslim leaders haven't condemened this attack is not true.

Jump to postYyz717, "Then why are all the jihads we hear about "issued" against the West, Israel, Salmon Rushdie?"

This is just a case...
Jump to postKROC, Jihad is defined as an effort in the sake of god. And that effort can be anything positive such as seeking an education.

Jump to postKuwait Airways is studying aircraft replacements.

Zizou and Swissgabe,
Thanks for your replies. I compared the prices and as you said the prices would be cheaper for Maldives, actually about half the price for similar packages. Maybe it would be best to combine the Maldives with South India or Sri Lanka for more things to do.
C172Akula,
The aircraft was carrying the Minister of Energy and Industry and delegates as you said on Oil and Gas business. It should head back to IAD from Canada.
For people who have been to both the Maldives and the Seychelles which do you reccomend? Which had better beaches? how about the diving?

Jump to postSrilankan_340,
Nope both Qatar and Bahrain are in Asia. The Middle East is more of a region much like "Western Europe" or "South East Asia" but technically both Qatar and Bahrain are in Asia and just like Sri Lanka is considered to be in Southern Asia we are in West Asia.
"I think its the first in Asia."
Qatar Airways has been offering this service for a while. I believe GF does too but I am not sure.
"Don't know why it is here" The aircraft is an A319CJ fitted out with an all First/Business Class interior.
