It's an Islamic country. More liberal than Saudi or Afganistan, less so than Sweden. I'm sure you like people who come to your home country to follow the laws of your country, even if they differ from where they come from.
Spare us the relativistic bull**** please. That something falls within the bounds of a legal system bears no relationship to actual justice. The point is well made by these few (of many similar) stories.

Oh, and fyi defending Dubai by saying "it's more liberal than Saudi or Afghanistan" is hardly a ringing endorsement. Pretty sad.

The more light that gets shone on the dirty little secrets of this dirty little place, the better. It is the excruciating hypocrisy of the place, and the arrogant way it is misleadingly marketed that grates. Not the fact there is crime and injustice, which as noted is not unique to Dubai.
