A U.K.-based human rights organization has urged Britons living in the United Arab Emirates to not report incidents of rape or sexual assaults following the case of a British woman who was allegedly gang raped in Dubai and after reporting it was arrested and charged with "extramarital sex" charges.
[...] The organization Detained in Dubai, which provides legal assistance to foreign people arrested in the UAE regardless of their citizenship and financial status, has already launched a petition at Change.org, urging authorities to take action on the matter.
[...] Radha Stirling, a U.S. citizen founder of the charity, said to The Independent that following the recent case – as well as a number of other shocking incidents in recent years where rape victims have been detained in the UAE – she advises British tourists not to report crime.
Human rights organizations have asked the UAE monarchies to match their country's great economic growth and tourism potential with changes to its legal system to improve and develop the legal rights and process.
From guide2dubai.com:
In 2013, the total population of UAE was recorded to be 9.2 million. Out of the 9.2 million, the expatriates contributed to around 7.8 million with the Emirati Nationals holding a population share of 1.4 million. [...] South Asian countries alone contributes to around 58% of the total population of UAE. The western population shares to around 8% of the overall population of the country.

You're just mad because you don't have an assortment of skyscrapers and artificial islands, an army of South Asian slaves to do your bidding, and a government that will allow you to do a lot more than grab women by the pussy and get away with it.
You're a savage who wasn't born into obscene wealth, has to work 9 to 5, and will never experience the pleasures enjoyed by the 0.1%. If we took away the one or two drugs or other things allowing you to cling to your sanity, you would go postal and end up in the local news.

Seems like he's happy to nuke all the women who've been raped too.
Because that shit doesn't just happen to the white women, they are the ones who get treated best.

So we rescue the women and children, and kill the remaining males.
Problem solved, and with a healthy supply of pleasantly thick and subservient breeding stock. What's not to like about that plan?

Um... so is that a "yes" for nukes?

Responding to ridiculousness with ridiculousness. Bravo. You are just as much of an asshole as the parent.

Lay the blame squarely where it belongs to.
