ATTENTION... Request for Civility on This FORUM, Please Read
Honestly, I was pleased to see the creation of these regional sub-forums created, in which it included a section for the Middle-East. First thing that came to mind, is all the countless exotic cars I’ve seen in person and on the web from there. This is an exciting opportunity for owners of these exotic and Mercedes owners to connect with each other here.
However, I am disappointed to see members here provoking the unprovoked Arabs, Muslims and all the Middle-Eastern community visiting this forum. I am also appalled to see an mbworld moderator creating and participating in these mockery threads. They are tasteless, racist and create unnecessary tension towards members here who might be middle-eastern or simply Muslim.
It is not the fact these mockery threads are funny or not, it is the stereotyping in them that is taking place, which is most likely causing other members from certain ethnicity to get angry and provoked. Mr. Brenton, majority of Muslims and Middle-Easterns are against cruel treatment of woman or any other living human beings. Yes, there are extremists out there, and they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of law if they are caught.
This is my humble attempt to ask for civility and respect to all races and religions. These forums are intended for the friendly exchange of ideas and opinions. For the most part, this forum has been, and continues to be a friendly place. Thank you!

The prosecutors under Sharia ARE the extremists and the "cruel treatment of woman" is mandated by law.

Gentlemen, I posted this thread because I was disappointed to see the newly created section used in the wrong way. I'm not here to prove who's right or who's wrong. The non sense, time wasting arguments and threads can take place at the OT section, where they belong.
I would like to see this section put in use to what it was created for, Benz\AMG enthusiast from the Middle-east, sharing their passion to Benz’s and AMG’s!
Thanks For vouching for me Pete

Link to source?? I've witnessed the exact opposite in this thing called reality. Hell, not more than a couple days ago one of our distinguished Persian members told a female member of the board that he would like to watch her have sex with a dog. And today, he posted this:

How do you figure my joke thread is in any way racist (as described by your friends Tee-Tz, Lorinser, and the like)? I made no mention of any race or religion whatsoever, yet somehow a mention of a practice decreed by law is racist! Racist!
And the righteous indignation sort of falls flat after one of your own insults Jews, ****, Guidos, Wetbacks, and others, and not a peep of this indignation from a single person. Not a single person. None. What happened to the indignation? Where did it go? Ah, hypocrisy in action.

Not so fast. Is stoning not proscribed by Sharia law in Saudi, Pakistan, Iran, Nigeria, and Afghanistan? Is it?

And they do not stone people in Nigeria - I've never been to those other countries so I cannot say.

You only believe what you have seen with your own eyes? How do you know that 9/11 was the work of 19 Al-Qaeda affiliated Arabs, mainly Saudis, if you did not see them do it?

I don't think he is a Truther. Or at least I assumed he is not.Most of the forum Troofers have crawled back under their rocks. But, it's still an important part of Nola's "OT entrance exam"!
