There is crime in UAE though. Child prostitution trafficking for example.
Ya well Ahmed didnt mean theres no crime at all, thats not possible, he meant that the rate of crimes down here is pretty low.
So you guys mean this place is not only filled with Allah-fearing Muslims, but also Allah-fearing Muslims with randy hard ons for little kids named... Randy?

Oh yeah, that's it. Whenever somebody says something bad about the Middle East, it automatically means that the individual in question "hates it."

Who are you... an American?

It's not my position to say that any laws are just or unjust in any country but my own, but it is the position of the world to discuss equality.

The only grotesque thing about the laws is if the woman was sentenced to 5 or 6 years in prison and the man wasn't held to the exact same standards.

If she goes to prison for 5 years, he should as well. Without question.

@ Rhizoid

I hear you bro, the UAE has double standards for everything, not just the application of the law...just look at the difference in privileges of the nationals and expatriates, who may be working the same job at the same company, but there will be a significant difference in salaries and facilities
come on, out of the whole population of the UAE there r less than 30% of UAE citizens. so atleast they can have some privilage, we are a minority in our own country and there are laws for the private sector to have a certain number of locals working on it.

Since when is a minority entitled to privileges...the way every1 is brought up is to work hard and reap what you sow, not be gifted things and not do a day's work...

i didn't mean it that way, but if we can't get these jobs at our country, where could we. just think of it, UAE is an open market while locals have the goverment support for jobs, the private sector supports foreigners. don't look at Etisalat as a private company since it's 60% owned by the goverment. there is a fair chance for everyone to get a job here.
