British man facing charges in Dubai for smoking weed before he entered the country.

I really wish they would have drug tested and arrested that commie Eddie Huang when he shot that episode of his shitty Vice show there.
 
Dubai isn't doing this because its Islamic, the country can care less about religion its basically just strict like Singapore and other Asian nations. In Islam Alcohol is viewed in the same manner as drugs and the sin is one of the same but Dubai openly sells and allows alcohol consumption.
 
Dude fuck drugs. Bloody sex is illegal. SEX. Is goddamn illegal in 2018... It is legal only with your partner if you are married...
Otherwise you're stepping on egg shells. There are people who do this all the time BUT if somebody calls the police and tells them this... You could be imprisoned. There were tons of people who had this happen to them...

The problem is that the Western media portrays places like Dubai, etc. in a very favourable light as tourist destinations. Even though you don't really possess any real individual rights in such countries.

A lot of Western people get a very confused perspective of what's actually going on in such places. The reality is that you should be on your toes at all times in any Middle Eastern country, where you are subjected to obeying foreign rules and traditions, enforced by a foreign people.

These are not "multi-cultural" countries and there are no compromises made to accommodate Westerners, like there are for Muslims in the West.

This is a good way to stop people from smoking weed, getting aids, and then breathing aids onto everyone in your country.

well technically dubai is ´multicultural´ so is doha. The city and country (UAE) is most male, and men from pakistan, india, indonesia, filipinos, bangladeshis. And then blonde anglo women working overseas as massage people or hostesses or flight attendants. Then white british and upper class indian guys doing finance or computer work. And then probably some engineer american military and his family members and russian and chinese business men scatttered about also escort prostitutes of all countries.

It's multi-ethnic, but definitely not multi-cultural. Islamic and Arab traditions dominate the cultural life of Arab Emirates.

To be multi-cultural, means that the Arab Emirates would accommodate to Western or Indian styles of living. Which they don't.

Multi-ethnic countries can certainly function, as they have throughout history, often as crude hierarchies such as Dubai. But I'm not yet convinced that multi-cultural countries can actually establish an efficient and productive social order. Not everybody can get to play by their own rules, unfortunately. And reaching a viable consensus between cultural groups, seems enormously difficult, unless some degree of segregation is involved.

agree. what countries do you think are multicultural in the world today? does US count? what about India. People mention india a lot but it is 900 million almost hindis and illegal to kill a cow in india. So i would say that hindis and hindu culture is supreme over all others.
 
This just shows the blatant hypocrisy of the Emirates, cause the elites there do drugs and hookers, but when a foreigner does it and a local doesn't like it the law comes down hard on the foreigner.

Yup. A country can have money, baubles and fancy buildings but still be a shit-hole.
