Sex On The Beach? 40 Lashes!

You just gotta love those Muslim party animals!
DUBAI – Two Britons charged with having sex on a Dubai beach had a hearing in their case postponed on Tuesday because the policeman who caught them failed to appear in the witness stand.
Maybe the officer came to his senses and realized that this entire case was asinine?
The Britons, who were arrested in early July, pleaded not guilty last month to charges of having sex in public and committing an indecent act in public, but have pleaded guilty to drinking alcohol without a license.
You need a license to drink alcohol in Dubai? Are you frakkin’ kidding me? Earth to the UAE: It’s 2008, not 8!
“The judge postponed the case because the policeman did not come,” their lawyer Hassan Mattar told Reuters after the Dubai court of misdemeanors postponed the hearing to October 7.
Mattar has said that if his clients are found guilty, they could face two years in jail. (H/T – Reuters)
Two years imprisonment for making sweet love down by the water? I hate to impugn an entire country, but the UAE is the most ass backwards government on the face of the earth. There, I said it.

The worst part is that I’ve come to expect this insanity from Islam as a whole. It just does not surprise me anymore.

“…the UAE is the most ass backwards government on the face of the earth.”
Actually, compared to the rest of the Muslim world, they’re fairly progressive. If this had happened in Saudi, the two lovebirds would’ve already been been flogged (or worse) by now.

I’m guessing they won’t put this on their travel brochure.

Dubai is a popular resort area and they are pretty tolerant for a Muslim country. I’ve been following this story in the British press and evidently this woman got puking drunk and hit a policeman. It’s a case of he/said, she/said but from what I know about Brits and their proclivity to get totally shitfaced, I believe the Dubai cop.
