Rape victim Jailed!

A statement given by Starwood Hotels to Yahoo 7 News said the hotel "worked diligently on Ms. Gali's behalf" and that the men involved in the crime were prosecuted and served prison terms.

Ms Gali claims that she was offered no instruction from the hotel on the legality of consuming alcohol nor on what the consequences would be for reporting a sexual assault under those circumstances. http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-n...r-in-rape-case

Read the title and thought '£100 says it's the Middle East.'

Things like this are why I totally reject the argument that no culture or system can be called superior to another as some would have you believe.

oh but it's just a minority most of them don't think that way the rest of them want to move hear to experience British culture and integrate Islam with British society there not going to segregate themselves and ignore the British culture and language or anything like that.

I think the argument shouldn't be superiority, but whether there is an inherent problem in the culture. I think that there is, that the police are concentrating not on the rape, but on the alcohol and sex (which was without consent), because their religious customs forbid it.

The article states that the men were also prosecuted, but jailing the victim is inexcusable.

religion of peace, justice and compassion.

so the BBC told me.

In fact, I think I can top that. Christian man setenced to 300 lashings and 6 years in prison for helping Muslim girl convert from Islam, which is a crime in tolerant Islam.

And what point did I make any claim like that?

I was being sarcastic that's the response the liberal left wing like to spout everytime.

I disagree, a secular political and judicial system is superior to a religious one, because a religious one will inherently be discriminatory.

She (and the the men as well) were prosecuted for drinking Alcohol, which serves a maximum 1 year imprisonment. In other words, it's highly unlikely she was jailed for "being raped" or "fornicating". It may be that the judge disregarded her story of being raped (which we don't really know for sure, whether the judge investigated or not), but I think the reason for the jailing is pretty clear.

If there was no evidence that any form of rape did occur, then no prosecution for the alleged accusation can be made. This is the same in western courts as well, even though, it's not quite full proof - False rape claims 'devastating' say wrongly accused

And finally, the UAE does punish people that rape women, in fact, they're given the the death penalty;
Businessman given death penalty for rape

I think more should be done to warn people who are thinking of going to these countries.

Why there is such a strong movement to boycott Israeli goods, but no large movements to boycott business to countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia is beyond me.
