With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted Oh I can't wait to learn the answer to #6.
desertgirl Member # 12450	posted ok, nice questionnaire ... Unfortunately, I don't know any of the answers cause I only read about 2 Arab leaders so far ; one was Saddat, the other one Hosni but I am curious for the answers

Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted quote: Originally posted by newcomer: At a guess: 4. Hosni 5. Algeria 7. Saddam The answers to numbers 5 and 7 are correct! # 5 (Algeria) The Algerian military forcibly canceled the 1991 elections after Islamists won overwhelming. The military contended that it was necessary because Islamist parties overwhelming majority would have threatened democracy in Algeria. The military coup eventually led to a civil war that ended in 2002 with nearly 200,000 lives lost. # 7 (Saddam Hussein) While Iraq’s population starved from sanctions, Saddam Hussein literally ate like a king. A gazelle in the Middle East easily fetches for $2,000 a head and Saddam ate plenty. The Ruling Baath party at the time advertised that it was paying a premium for Gazelles. Saddam's personal stock was fed cardamom apparently to tenderize the meat.

desertgirl Member # 12450	posted The title is SIMPLE QUESTIONNAIRE ... It is a questionnaire, right ! Simple ???
karla Member # 5472	posted 2. In Baluchistan, one of the country's four provinces of Pakistan, many residents abide by the maxim that a woman should leave her home only three times in her life: when she is born, when she marries, and when she dies.
Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted Guys!!! Not all of them are hard but three questions are indeed very hard . What good would a questionnaire be if I made questions that you could easily find the answers to online? Karla you are right with regards to Baluchistan however the man (ultraist) who coined that particular phrase has yet to be named. I will give you guys some hints: -He was a spiritual leader of an Islamist group -He was jailed -He defiantly answered with that phrase when asked “why do you oppose women going to work”
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Sobriquet, I can't give you any answers, sorry. But if you open up a new thread about Hollywood stars and Western singers - I will rock your questionnaire! BTW, so what is up with answer No. 6? I am still waiting!
Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted quote: Originally posted by Tigerlily: BTW, so what is up with answer No. 6? I am still waiting! Patience dear Lilly ... patience Maybe I'll answer it after i go shopping and after i cook a calzone If the Calzone comes out good i'll answer today and if not then ...... no guys be good
With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted Ok I'm guessing #1 is Saddam ? ((making dua'a for Calzone))
salexian Member # 13086	posted There are still many cults that go in for vagina worship. Trust me; this is not something you want to get involved with.
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted quote: Originally posted by With a name like Smuckers: ((making dua'a for Calzone)) [/QB] Looks like all your praying didn't help. We obviously have to wait until tomorrow for the answer! Sobriquet, please let you wife cook next time!

Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted quote: Originally posted by With a name like Smuckers: Ok I'm guessing #1 is Saddam ? ((making dua'a for Calzone)) Close enough Smuckers The answer is Oday Hussein, eldest son of Saddam Hussein. This man loved his virgins and he almost lost his life in pursuit of cherries. Oday was driving his Porsche with Republican guards riding in front and in back of him. The destination was a popular nightspot in an affluent neighborhood in Baghdad where apparently Oday was to meet a certain woman. He was however ambushed from the front and from the rear and was unable to maneuver his car. His car was obviously bulletproofed but the rebels were clever enough and managed to spray gunfire from the inside pocket of his front tires and rims. He was hit several times and eventually required extensive rehabilitation. Long story short he was never the same again and also never walked the same again, suffering intense pain after long walks. Oday loved cherries so much it was rumored that he couldn’t get it up for anyone but a virgin. P.S I didn't make calzone as plans changed but ate the most delicious Lasagna

Belhadj was a hardliner and second in charge of FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) of Algeria. An Algerian Islamic intellectual with Salafist tendencies, Belhadj believed that women’s place was in the home. He believed that a womanless workforce would eliminate unemployment and strengthen family ties. Belhadj was an immensely popular public figure whose party won 50% of the vote in Algeria’s 1991 legislative elections. He was jailed for 12 years for his views and now lives somewhere in the Gulf (khaleeej)

I was right (phew, finally I got one, it only took 16 questions...)

You are actually in the top of the class along with Newcomer who also answered two questions correctly. Sha-tirreh(Smart Girl)
Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted The answer to # 6 is: Alawiyya, an offshoot sect of Twelvers (Shia), their religion is a mixture of Islam, Christianity and Paganism. I won’t delve into the specifics of their religion but they do recognize the 5 pillars of Islam but refrain from practicing them. They also have two additional pillars one of which is worshiping Ali or deifying him. The also believe in the trinity of Ali, prophet Muhammed (saw) and Salman –al-farasi(companion of the Prophet). Their worship of the Vagina is unlike other cults. Several experts in the Middle East notably T.E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) described them as a ‘Cult of fertility”. However unlike other “cults of fertility” who use “ritualistic whores” for sexual purposes during the rituals, Alawiyya simply prostrate to the vagina of a woman and almost always to a beautiful woman with a ‘beautiful’ vagina. I hope women are not flattered by this twisted act because Alawiyya regard women as ‘soulless’. The woman is not worshiped at all as she is regarded as nothing. The point of this ritual act is simply to pay homage to the source of where human life comes out - the vagina.
Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted The answer to # 4 is: Ahmad bin Yahya or simply Imam Ahmad was the ruler of North Yemen. He hailed from the powerful tribe of Hashid whose territories included the capital city of Sanna. The Imam however opted to live in the city of Taez although it was greatly underdeveloped in comparison to the capital city. The Imam a warrior himself had no respect for the “hojjariyeh” residents of Taez province. He regarded them weak mentally and weak physically and throughout his rule treated them like scum because of their tribunal weakness and because they easily changed alliances. Egypt (Gamal Abdel Nasser) eventually helped in the overthrow of the Imam's son (Mohammed Al-badr) who came into power after his father's death.

The Alawiyya are the minority and they could go to hell for all i care. Tell all the mozzaz (chicks) there are plenty of normal horny arabs there. Ahahahahahaha
Sobriquet Member # 13217	posted The answer to #3(and final unanswered question) is very easy and I am a little surprised no one managed to answer it. Emir Sheikh bin Khalifa Al Thany of Qatar and Sultan Qaboos of Oman both came to power by deposing their fathers.
With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted Ok, I must say these questions were ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT Sobriquet! How about something easier, I always win at Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit but I don't recall the Arab Leaders sections in those games.

Smuckers, pick from below the next subject for the next batch of questions. -Islam (Islamic matters) -Commerce & Geography (of the Arab world) -History of the Arab world -Politics of the Arab world -Notable personalities (Arabs, this might be hard though)

Magnoon Leader Member # 14062	posted Which Arab leader travelled to Israel to inform them of the impending Egyptian attack on October 6,1973?

That's a great question and i don't know the answer and i want to add 1 more question: This occurred while one Iman was visiting his friend(another Iman). A daughter of which great Iman told her father "you speak so highly of this man, although he got up straight from bed and performed fajr prayer without performing wudu" To which her father replied "my dear daughter don't be hasty for Imam bla bla bla is known to be in purity from the Ishaa prayer to dawn prayer, as he spends his nights awake contemplating solutions for the ummah" You guys know the 4 great imams, 2 of them complete the answer.

Ahmed ibn Hanbal's daughter talking about Shafi'i. This is a guess based on who studied under who and who had a daughter. But if Shafi'i also had a daughter, it could have been her talking about Imam Malik.

It's funny, I was just talking about this with someone last weekend. I believe it was King Hussein of Jordan and this person said there is also a videotape of him admitting that he did warn them.
