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 appear, in your arguments, to be just as extreme as those you seem to blame for this particular attack. It does you no credit.
Nowhere does it say the attacker is of Islamic Faith. You are simply impressing your own racial hatred on a story that you believe supports your extreme views. We in Europe have refugees from many places, and one cannot simply assume that all those from the Middle East are muslims. Have you heard of the Syrian Christians [wikipedia.org], for example? Certainly. many of those from Africa are other faiths.
Try reading this Wikipedia entry [wikipedia.org] to further you knowledge which details some of the other religions that are common in that region - people from those places are now among the refugees in Europe.
And in that one statement you have just proven that, in the civilised world that you claim you represent, that all your arguments are without merit. You have no respect for the law and the civilised societies that depend upon it. Don't bother replying - you have just emptied both barrels into your foot.

Interesting. I take it then, that you have a lot of instances of Syrian Christians attacking women in Europe? Or, a lot of Sikhs? Those Muslims are probably doing the same! The Jews!
Come on man, who are you trying to kid here? Rape is part of the Muslim culture.
