love oxford circus topshop, mine in chester is so small, and you get all concessions in o.c, with designer names too.

i got my eyes on pale pink knee high boots and pointy dark green snake skin stillettos. they have a cute flower jewel near the toe.

No, not me.

The people who decided to record it, add subtitles and put it up on the web - MEMRI.

MEMRI is an Israeli org that monitors Arab (and in this case, I suppose, Iranian too) media in order to show the rest of th world how backward and wierd they are.

what was so threatening about that???

i thought good on them

lol that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen.

They look like an elite squad of killer nuns storming a barracks.

The feminist movement is a good thing - but come on, certain gender roles aren't completely evil.

Guys are suppost to be the protectors - not women.

That's our job!

lol poor iranians - damned if they do, damned if they dont...

i mean usually the West likes to say they're all backwards and women are repressed there etc etc. but wen it comes to summat like this theyre apparently on the other extreme. make up ur minds people!

lol. although i dont see anything wrong with there being policewomen (this is good in fact, who else will deal with female criminals?), surely there are enough men to be scaling buildings?! - thats where it gets OTT in my opinion. but overall i still think its cool.

Nah it's not like that - we are very specific with what we want. All the Iranians have to do is every little thing we do until such point as they are indistinguishable from us!

That's it!

I don't think it's so much to ask.

dunno bout u, but i was kidding!

i bought the pink boots i wanted

but got them home and they look brown, not impressed, going to take them back

what do you think of dark purple or pale green or cream boots??

I'm not really a boots person. It doesnt go with what I wear. But If I was to wear them I'd wear black ones with fur or cream ones with fur.

January 10???

No!

Complete surprise to me.

I thought it was gonna be in February.

Hmm... no wonder everyone's going off to Hajj.

:?

This is the lesser Eid right?

The greater Eid.

3 whole days.

no this is the bigger eid.

Cool!

Thanks.

Out of curiosity has Christmas affected Eid at all? Do you get Eid presents or an Eid tree or something?

Not officially but out of common practice.

lol depends on who u ask bro.

I would say that definitely xmas has effected muslims.

So much so that for some the 2 eids of islam were not enough, they just HAD to innovate a new one called Eid Milad un Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam.

Its basically muslim xmas, people are ''celebrating'' the Holy Prophet salallhu alayhi wa sallams birthday. They put up fairy lights and tinsel and xmas decorations in the mosques. This aint a lie. Ask any1 here and they will tell u dat on muslim xmas ppl put up xmas deco all over the shop!

I aint seen a muslim xmas tree, but give it time, its only a matter of a few days b4 som1 great person thinks we shud put up trees with lights to celebrate muslim xmas.

I seek ALLAH's refuge from the like of this.

Any excuse.

:roll:
