Not really. In practice, it happens all the time.


Even two people of opposite sexes, live together all the time in Dubai. In practice, the law that prohibits two people of opposite sexes living together isn't really enforced(in Dubai), especially when it comes to foreigners(non muslims)



.
That makes more sense. I can't imagine how they would get these desired Americans you were talking about to come over there for jobs if they have to get married before banging.

Well I guess this explains why everybody gets married so early over there. :D

Dubai is as "liberal" as they get in the Arab world. Part of the reason for that is, so that foreigners keep coming.

As for the second part, not really man. A lot of people still have pre maritial sex, drink alcohol etc despite being muslims :p

I thought they still did it...

Isn't there a case of a girl who was supposed to be stoned still open and they had to delay her stoning due to intervention from some Human Rights Associations?
That was Iran.

I was assuming you were talking about the UAE.

If he is used to playing in a different system, doesn't speak the language, or his "personality" isn't like the rest of the team's, yes, it is.
That seems to be the long-term reason for why a player isn't performing. Hamsik has played like 4 games for me and he's been pretty average. I'm playing him in his natural position according to the game (MC) and I've tried giving him more individual freedom, runs with the ball, forward movement...but nothing seems to work. Maybe I'm expecting it to happen too quickly.

I'm not telling them to change it, I'm saying it's wrong, and you should think it is too.

And I have a serious problem with sex out of wedlock too.

But if the people aren't married, then it shouldn't matter if they bang or not.
A government should be for its people and while UAE does not exactly have the most people friendly government, in this case this law is supported by pretty much every citizen I imagine. So what's wrong with that? It's not normal to you but it is to them.

1st: Play Hamslice every other game and he'll eventually fit in.

2nd: Does that equate to Emirates being unfriendly people?:D

Can you get beer?
In Dubai?


Of course.

Two Arab countries where alcohol is strictly prohibited: Saudi Arabia, and my very own country. The two countries also have the only two airlines that do not serve Alcohol.

Actually, there has been movement by some people in the Libyan government to allow alcohol in Libya, in order to boost tourism, but there has been a big backlash from people, and nobody in Libya wants Alcohol to be allowed.

Is it good for you?

How's in the other Emirates?
Yeah, well they've been brought up with the mentality that sex outside marriage it's bad,obscene etc. So yeah, keeping in mind that, it's probably considered a good thing by them.

As i said, things as good and bad are almost entirely subjective.
