    No. It doesn't really make sense to me. Libya was wrong from the beginning they can't expect el baltaga bta3t Qathaffi to actually work everywhere in the world [I'm talking about his son's arrest in Geneva that led to all of this]. It's completely irrational but I'm really interested in seeing how this is all going to unravel and how they'll react to this. It's probably going to be quite amusing.

    And I don't see why Arabs should do the same. For one thing our tourism would take a large blow. I have often found it unfair that a Brit can issue a visa on arrival to Egypt for less than they'd need to pay for dinner while an Egyptian has to go through an expensive excruciatingly long process to get a visa to England. But when I thought more of it, the intention of travelling is different so it's only natural to require different things. I would like to see a more appropriate price being asked for visas though, Britain charges no less than 50 GBP and we've got the Pyramids, ye know? [I know England's not a Schengen state, but...]. But still I don't think barring Schengen citizens is in any way necessary or helpful, it's actually quite stupid.

    Is this a real question? Even people here would know that when a country completely bans citizens of 25 other countries from visiting based on a personal dispute with the president's son, that only means it's an indescribably backward banana republic and an absolute dictatorship with a ruler who's considerably f*cked up in the head and ought to be taken out. Muammar Al-Gaddafi is hated even by many Libyans. There's no difference between him and Idi Amin or Mobutu Sésé Seko or Jean-Bédel Bokassa or any other African despot calling himself a leader today. Of course no one in his right mind would agree with Gaddafi's latest monkeyshines.

    I disagree of course , because now the whole EU countries will hate libya , for Al - Qaddafy's personal mistake ( they never were friends with libya , by the way ) . And why would the other arab countries ever do this ? i mean they have no reason . By the way , this guy is weird . i mean can you imagine that in 2003 he abandoned libya's WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION and paid almost 3 billion US dollars in compensation to the families of Pan Am flight 103 as well as UTA Flight 772 . just because he didn't want to end up like Saddam ??

    peace :)

  • I'm just answerin for the sake of Muslima haha, idk what this is hehe

    @Muslima: No prbz haha

    @Zoser: To answer your question, after you explained all this to me haha, I thought it would be better to do the same thing as the Europeans and make it hard for them to attain a visa also. But after readin Tin's (this is not here) argument, I kinda changed my mind. She is right about the tourism thing, I mean Europeans are a large source of our money when it comes to tourism. I guess everything is just stirred up right now.

    EDIT: LOL my dad was talkin about it in the dinner table today hehe. He said that Qadaffi is called "Magnoon Libya" because of all the stupid things he does, so I guess this is just another example hehe

    hey, you do no longer choose for a VISA as this is the european Union, by having a Visa for Germany you effectively have a Visa for the entire of Europe, all those places above would be genuinely advantageous, So return and forth and examine our eye-catching lands, I wish i'd desire to be certain your eye-catching place of beginning place! relish!

    It is quite deplorable and it is the easiest mindless solution to the 'terrorist problem'. Make it very hard for the 'undesirables' to get in to EU and the US. Following Libya's example will not work. For economic reasons. Tourism for one. It is a one way traffic. More Schengen people move south than Arabs and Egyptians move north. You will also make it very difficult for friends in Schengen and the US to visit. And I mean friends to the Islamic world.

    i don't know about it actuallyO.o, probably i'll search about it and educate myself ..lol..then i may edit and tell you what i think then!!

    and thanks for the activity :P..lol

    edit:

    umm.. from what i understood , that lybia did that probably because of problems between the country and Switzerland :l , literally because of his son & wife,so it is kinda personal and it became a huge problem that the other countries who are in that agreement may interfere !!

    personally , i don't know if that type of visas could do any problems that it would be better then for arab countries to ban it too as lybia!!O.o idk

    and in fact i don't like moammar elkazzafy(whatever the spelling of his name is..lol) , and i don't see him wise actually , so it is no surprise to me of doing that or whateva!!

    @Gaz...LOL thank you girl ..hahaha :):)

    edit:

    based on the info you gave me , yes it should be belmathl but reason should be obvious , like it should be the same for you , the same for us ..etc but about libya , iamnot sure it is about that , i think it is kinda personal between the kazzafy and other country as i said..

    plus , the arab world is in mess actually :( , i believe if they did the same , they will just make it worse , they aren't in the place to say do and don't (mosh f mawkef kawwa yekhalehom gora2a w yet2ammaroh kaman) !sadly to say that.!! not sure though!!

    thanks for that topic !

    yes, I agree.

    Bcoz .......are europeans good enough as to travel where they want, while us arabs are discriminated by them, and put all under "terrorist" category?

    All the rest of the world would have to do it.

    I dont like Ghaddafi, but he is right for once in his life.
