Dubai detains 79 for "indecent behavior" on beaches

[quote name='camoor']Good point. It's also awesome that they aren't a horribly hypocritical society where men can basically do anything they want in private (and certain things that violate Muslim law such as pick up prostitutes in public, as long as they are "discrete") whereas women can be banned from working by their husbands, denied divorce when without physical evidence of abuse, and even subjected to honor killings (which while technically illegal are rarely punished)

Of course I'm sure someone with your brilliant reasoning skills and just sense of morality probably thinks that death is a fine punishment when a woman marries a guy her family didn't approve or has sex out of wedlock (maybe you'd like to tack a scarlet A on her for extra "teaching modesty" points)[/QUOTE]

All true....

But I thought the current political atmosphere that's in vogue now is to stay out of everyone's business whether we approve of their society and governments or not.
