So I googled this to try and confirm if it was accurate (it more or less seems to be-- happened in 2017). Imagine my surprise to learn this happened again this year to a different guy.

Moral of the story is: guys in Dubai are really protective of their hips. "5 feet apart cause they're not gay" may actually be a good precautionary measure to take when visiting o.O
Yeah, this kind of stuff is the reason why I dont understand the Dubai hype. The world is huge, with countless amazing places to visit, yet people choose an artificial city built on oil money where sneezing in the wrong direction can land you a death sentence.
Fuck that place. I feel like so many people are blinded by the shiny-ness of the place and dont realize how fast your life can turn to utter crap there.
Dubai and *most* of that general region should pretty much be off limits, things are so ass backwards its basically a total shit show with a side order of human rights violations.
What an insecure, intolerant shithole. They might’ve spent a bunch of oil money trying to move out of the dark ages but until Islam is removed this will always be a 2nd class, 3rd world shithole.
They used to say the same thing about Christianity, in some cases, still do. Give it 300 years and radical Islam will be as rare as christian extremists (which is still too often). Every religion has a "dark age" period.
...Is there anything you CAN do short of eradication? (Which would push the moderates and 1/6th of the world population to the extreme, thus defeating the purpose and probably ending the species with WW3).
Anyway, this is a fight better regulated to those within the religion... and if we just take a step back and leave it alone, what's good for the masses will win out. Indonesia is like 75% muslim... when was the last time you heard of a suicide bomber from Indonesia? The 70's? Why? it's not the religion, it's the politics within the religion.
The problem isn't the religion, it's the culture. Islam doesn't tell you anything about hating jews or athiests/Christians, it's just threat people on arab countries think. Take s look at Muslims in other countries, you'll find they're completely different to those in arab countries. And one last thing: the current generation (those born after 1990) are much more tolerant than the adults, so it's getting alot better. My parents are extremely anti-Semitic, homophobic, and against people from any other religion, yet me and my brothers are nothing like that
I'm not even going to get what installing the Ayatollah did to the culture... because... yeah. It's funny that for awhile there, all of the middle east was slowly becoming modernized and developing a culture that isn't as exclusionary. But hey.... war is a drug.

Spare me!
