I am certain this is not the first time a DXB club was raided. I remember sometime ago,when on holiday, a straight couple was arrested for indecent behaviour (kissing) at crown plaza ,and this is not against the Gay community alone!
After all DXB is in an islamic country and the Islamic Law must be practiced and respected.
What I later heard was, DXB police carry out similar raids time to time just to pass a message to the public on principles of the country and to somewhat control the public when they forget where to draw the line!
Still DXB remains the best and the most fantastic city of the whole of gulf.....atleast with a bit of human rights!!
