    Prostitution thriving in Dubai[^] I would have been surprised if this hadn't been the case, the hypocrisy on this is well known and frankly on everything else - e.g. if you're rich the law doesn't apply to you.

      From what I have heard, Islamic rules related to alcohol are not applicable in Dubai. I guess same is the case with prostitution as well. Although in any other place, it will be a big crime.

        "This was in the city centre of Dubai, the Gulf emirate where western women get a month in prison for a peck on the cheek." The man got a month in prison as well BTW but he was a westerner.

          If she'd offered something in the mouth instead, would she have got off scott free?

            They execute people in Saudi Arabia for being homosexual, committing adultery or practicing a religion other than islamofascism, and you are worried about what happens when the rules are not quite as strict next door???

              I saw this example and reproted it. If you wish to report other examples then by all means go ahead. The point was to show the institutionalised hypocrisy in the region.

                  A lot of the stuff is nothing to do with Islam, that's just the smoke screen.
