Humm...i wonder whose cup of wine was that...
As far as i know a "good muslim" woman does NOT drink alcohol. To be exact muslims in general are not allowed to drink alcohol.
Are you making an inference or an accusation?
Let's take a minute to partially deconstruct this scene...
the subject photo
There are glassess with various liquids on the table. They could be water, or vodka, or gin, or tomato juice, or a full strength bloody mary, or a cocktail, or beetroot juice, or a wine, or a non-alcoholic beverage, or none of these. What does each glass contain? We don't know.
To which person or persons does each glass belong? We don't know.
Who, if anyone, has taken a drink from one or more of the glasses? We don't know.
Why are Princess Haya and the man behind her holding each other's hands? We don't know.
Why is the mauve tie worn by the man on the left crumpled and askew? We don't know.
There are enough unknown elements here to construct or conjure even the wildest and most damning tale, if one was so inclined.
So, what do we know? One fact at least: wine glasses are placed on the right-hand side of a person seated at table. In the photograph, what may be wine is on Princess Haya's left.
The object lesson: don't jump to conclusions; don't moralise in order to gleefully disparage; don't introduce irrelevant comments about "
good muslim women" when the obvious intent is to infer the opposite; don't resort to all-capitals as it's heavy-handed; and don't construct an argument by prefacing it with the qualified "
as far as I know..." and following it with the very definite "
to be exact..." as the manipulation is very unsubtle. Lastly, the use of a 'doubting whistling' smilie and a 'knowing grin' smilie in the context of an attempted hatchet-job give the game away immediately.
