I don't even knock the students who stay after class so they can be alone when they ask for sex with me. Saudi men aren't the only ones who prefer blonds.

Not correct!

The prophet recommended using fragrance oil (without alcohol) and not perfume. I have no idea about using female perfume by men, which sounds strange to me. One reason I can think of is becuase the women perfume is normally stronger than mens one (more %), it lasts longer.

To us "fragrance oil" and "perfume" are the same thing. It was a Sunna of the Prophet to use fragrance.

They are definitly different. Go to any perfume shop and they will tell you.

I once had a Muslim argue with me that Muslims aren't mean to animals. I had mentioned the rock throwing and abuse of dogs in Saudi. She then said that dogs are incestious and like to live in their own urine so they had it coming.

Perfume, fragrance. To-may-to, To-mah-to.

This has nothing to do with Islam. Throwing dogs with stones ! is something to do with education and kids bad behavior. I never heard of such an argument!

I had never tied it in with Islam, but she insisted being cruel to animals is against the Islamic religion.

Poe-tay-to, poh-tah-to.

Men apply perfume to their bodies so they smell nice while throwing stones at dogs that sleep in their own urine.

That's what I got out of this thread.

LOL. I'm sure if I mentioned stuff like that to my boss he'd reply, "So, what's the problem?"

Hang on ... maybe that's what they mean by homework Surprised

The question might also be asked: Why don't some of them use more?
