"Rain Prayers"
A couple weeks ago I read "Sheik Bla Bla Bla" called for rain prayers for the UAE........be careful what you wish for Sheiky Sheik! LOL

These idiotic Indian/Arab drivers just can't understand why you can't go though a 2 foot flood at 80 km/hr. Saw probably 50 abandoned vehicles yesterday coming home........dumb asses.

Rain prayers
DUNE
Would you please refrain from this kind of posts and please be respectful of the islamic religion and the culture/traditions of the country you are living in.
Just be advised the rain prayers are commonly organised in several islamic countries experiencing long drought periods.

Looseobject,take it easy my friend, he/she was not insulting a religion just that some drivers drive here in UAE.Most are straight of a donkey(if that, from some sub-continent country) and therefore have no idea about safe driving standards. i.e braking distance,aquaplaning, indicating,lane discipline etc.
I was driven to work on Tues night in our company transport very badly despite numerous calls to slow down.120Km/H on a soaked road is not safe,it even breaks normal road limit laws!!!
Take the comment as it was meant to be, an observation not an attack on religion.
Over and out

I really know that driving in UAE is a lethal practise for many people, and many road criminals are unfamiliar with driving on wet or flooded roads ( aquaplanning, braking distance....)
What i did not appreciate at all is the first sentence in the 1 st post.
Safe roads and flying to all.

No attempt made to insult your Islamic religion.......boy some of you are wounded up tight these days. Relax would ya! The North American Indians also do rain dances..........because I don't believe in either their dances nor your prayers doesn't mean you can't. I also don't believe in "sorcery" nor "black magic"; another commonly held belief amongst those in the Middle East. Whatever floats your boat.
As Wordsworth said, it was funny watching the antics around Dubai with a little of the wet stuff. Nothing more sinister than that my friend so give it a break.

Would that be professional pilots?
mkdar the guys are having a bit of a joke nothing anti muslim just a bit of a thing called banter. The rain has had quite an effect on those who are living here.
