Apps should go both ways
In reference to your article, MaidMe: the app that lets you rate your maid (September 18), in my opinion there should also be an app to rate the service buyers.

Thank you for highlighting perils of Crohn's disease
I refer to your article, Crohn's disease patient describes her struggle and the determination to help other sufferers (September 19). Abeer, you are a courageous woman to give a voice to those suffering from Crohn's and colon problems. All the more power to you. Let's hope this sparks a fire to help others facing these diseases.

UAE is always one step ahead in the game
I refer to your article, Dubai Police adds electric cars to patrol airports (September 21). I'm happy to see that the UAE is once again a big step ahead of everyone else when it comes to implementing the latest solutions against global warming.

Glad to see QE2 undergoing restoration
In reference to your article, QE2 undergoes major facelift in Dubai as anticipation for her next chapter builds (September 21), I say at long last. The ship was built in my home city and many people there had wanted her back. I hope the long years of little or no maintenance haven't taken too much of a toll on her.

In the 1980s, she was docked in Hong Kong and we were lucky enough to go on board. I even think we still have one of the menus and other bits and bobs somewhere.

The only thing ISIL is good at is religious perversion
I refer to your article, Isil has created a long lasting appeal among angry young Muslims, debate hears (September 20). We can only stop ISIL after speaking frankly about who they are. They cause destruction, suffering and religious perversion. The only thing they ever have time for, seems to be destruction. ISIL have nothing to do with Islamic principles. This means they bear zero importance in our lives as Muslim. What is important for Muslims is peace, respect, and tolerance towards other cultures and religions. The only things we should care about are God, the Quran and the House of God. We are also obliged to respect governments that carry the torch of peace.
