On Being Too Attractive

Although i haven't read this post, i wasn't however surprised. I have friends working in that country and they were told before they left to be mindful of their looks. 'Beautiful' men were even advised to sport a beard to sort of hide their feminine looks. I'm not saying i believe their stories. I'm only saying fhat what had happehed wasn't surprisng for me.

Ehm okay what is so special about this guy? There are numerous men on this planet with his exact looks. I'm thinking if he was handsome enough to be deported then every female would be pregnant just by glancing at him.

This is just ONE of a catalogue of bizarre and, perhaps, garbled stories about Saudi. In fact, these men were representatives of UAE at some kind of festival and there appears to have been an issue with a female singer from UAE. It is just another example of what happens when an insane religious fervour and politics get mixed together. The result is always a long catalogue of official lies, a dangerous infringement of human rights and a situation which tends to overflow the country's borders and threaten the safety of the rest of the world. Saudi Arabia, apparently, also plans to build "female-only cities", to force female infants to wear the burkha and to 'medically paralyse' a man who stabbed a friend 10 years ago if he refuses to pay a large fine. http://www.thecommentator.com/article/3275/three_men_deported_from_saudi_for_being_too_handsome http://www.thecommentator.com/article/1521/bizarre_plans_for_female_only_cities_in_saudi_arabia_underway http://www.thecommentator.com/article/3144/eye_for_an_eye_punishment_leads_saudi_arabia_to_paralyse_24_year_old_man http://www.thecommentator.com/article/2637/_burkas_for_babies_as_spate_of_child_abuse_sweeps_saudi_arabia The question I have to ask is, Is it morally acceptable for us to be intolerant of religious intolerance in others?

i found that queer too but i did read about it, it was Omar Borkan Al Gala i saw the pic and i have to say he is very attractive but i don't think being too attractive is the right reason to be deported! that is crazy, he was born that way as if he can change that. lol. but if he is here in the Philippines it would be really an advantage to have him here, tourism!!!

Hard to believe this is the reason, since handsome is a personal taste. I never heard about people who are rejected or kicked out because of the way they look. Although I do know that many people envy them and it's hard for them to find a honest partner (unless they are very rich).

I don't care about the look of the applicant as long as he/she is dressed properly and neatly. I'm after of their skills and intelligence. so this kind of prejudice don't work for me. I practice fairness to all. I wish all people will act the same. Sadly the world today is full of prejudices.

I have not heard of anything that has happened in our country. I do think that people here would rather hire good looking people coz they could attract more clients.
