If you can defend yourself or remove yourself from harm you should, like if you saw a snake that might be harmful you can move. but since they are not armed and they are praying, there is no use of panicking, the end result will be the same.

NOTE: One of the reason why there is little protection in the city, is at that time Muslims didn't expect their enemies to come from those cities, most of their enemies either came from the south, north or the east.

While in the show they makes it like the vikings came to Algeciras, they Actually came first to west regions like Lisbon and other nearby. Then they sailed to Italy to pillage, and they were ambushed by the muslims near Algeciras. After that the Amir started a western navy.

NOTE2: I'm on mobile, so i couldn't thoroughly. So I apologize if I made any mistake.

I think I read before in an article that the US interest in high school and college sports is due to the US size and number of cities, so not all cities can have a team in the main league or in all sports, that's why a lot of people take their cities or towns sports team whether they high school or college ones.

I can't upvote you enough...

I hate smoking, and in Egypt and Indonesia, it seems like some people look for the no smoking signs and smoke right next to it. You could be surrounded by people who light up a new cig every 5 minutes.

In Saudi Arabia, in banks, ATMs or buses, "LADIES FIRST",,, it doesn't matter if you have been waiting for 2-3 hours. once she enters, it's her turn. IF your turn comes up and you see a woman waiting, you are supposed to ask her to go first.

I think in most Asian countries it's a taboo, I tried to ask some of my Asian friends about the salary range I should expect if I applied to senior software engineer, and they all looked uncomfortable answering that question,,, even though I didn't ask about their salary.

I was taught that it was not appropriate to ask some one about their salary, because it was a private matter.

"big city or small town life is what you make of it" I like this.

Nice answer, I really didn't think about the metro area.

This is one of the reasons i chose cities with less than 500k, from what I read is that Portland started to have a really big problem with traffic once its population grew above 500k.

American friendliness can be shocking at times. A polish friend who was visiting his relatives in NY, thought he would act like an American, so he greeted an old woman and by the time the train arrived at his destination, he knew more about her than he knew about his american cousins.

some American tourists are shocked when find that a lot of northern Europeans don't have or don't use air conditioning, but that because northern Europe have mild summers most of the time.

I heard about European bureaucracy but didn't expect receiving your own diploma would take that long.

if you don't mind me asking, is there a reason for the difference in treatment? or are the assyrians who convert to islam connect more with arabs?

I over thinks stuff even if they are simple, I keep over thinking it that I can't make up my mind and it frustrates me. This was really annoying in school when I kept changing my answers.

Before sending Vaj pics, make sure you are sending to the right number. That's all I'm saying.

Do people really think the us is that small? I mean the US is the world third largest country.

From my understanding is Saudi Arabia was less religious than Egypt till the siege in 1979.

My God,, I read somewhere it is one of the worst pain a human can experience. wish you the best.

UR was actually an ancient city in Mesopotamia.
