What or where next?

I just read BJP before logging on here and read all about this.

What or where next indeed. :confused:

Don

Well they didn't have digital cameras in the 18th century and that is where Kuwait resides.

This sounds very odd.
Those that take Islam to the extremes won't use or allow an image of Allah's creations to be made. That could be the reason.
Most Muslims don't give a rats or actively encourage photos being taken.
I'm usually asked to take photos when anyone sees the camera.
86+% of Indonesia's population is Muslim. The only time I've been requested to delete a shot was some really odd blokes I met a few years ago. The reason turned out to me there involvement in terrorism as I found out when the police shot the first of them about a year later.

Some countries are very strict that you can't even take any photos of people and their authorities can take away your camera gear. To me taking photos is a passion and my way of life. Some countries are very selfish. Manufacturers all over the world today make and design cameras so they can take photos and people should be allow to take photos of wahtever they like?

It appears the story was false
