Really its like Rhizoid said, if people dont like the laws over here, they can feel free to leave, things like these are unaccepted in our community and rightfully so.

Why is it rightfully so?

Don't you think some of these punishments are a bit... harsh?

Ah...the Middle East...

 

[Fred]

well it depends really, i mean in a a muslim country its completely unacceptable for these things to happen in public. I see nothing wrong with those punishments, people know how strict Muslim countries are about those things before they came here, like i said before, they can always leave if they dont like it

 

[Ahmed]

Stupid laws like usual in a place where religion rules the land.

those "stupid laws" are also the reason why there is no crime here

 

[Fred]

so true.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Exactly. I wonder if it's just a coincidence that the world is so messed up today.

Okay, get me up on this shit, what are we talking about?

 

[Maher]

What happens to the guy she had sex with ? He'll also be convicted ? Or he wasn't drunk so it's ok ?
Or only the women go to jail for having sex ?

good question , i hope he get the same punishment

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Yea, and you...

I heard about that article in the Sun. And frankly speaking, the writer has gone beyond his limit to show the muslim country as a very open and free country!

Coming back to the original story, the lady is a tramp! she's known for being a party animal even during weekdays. Let alone, she works at well reputed publication house, for the past 3.5 yrs. I am sure she knows the rules by heart!!

When in Rome..

out of 3.2 million, 80 people die in toronto because of crime every year, on average. a lot more are killed on accidents, disease, and other non-crime related causes. i'll take that over risking losing my hand if i get caught shoplifting

Well, this is Dubai and the laws have changed over the past 30 years.

 

[Yamen]

It sure will change to the better.

There will be punishment. Not very strict, but for sure one will think twice before thinking of commiting anything against the law.

as usual, idiots who don't know jack about anything, talking out of their ass...and even in KSA the "chopping off the hand bit" is for a major theft, not stealing a pack of gum

 

[Fred]

True.

Who would bother to steal a pack of gum anyway
