This is yet another reason for the civilized world to keep away from the Middle East. These countries have Medieval laws that include depraved practices such as beheadings.

AMMERMANTM, you''''re forgetting about seperation of church and state. Our U.S. schools are now making children remove jewelry with a cross on it. We''''ve become so politically correct not wanting to offend anyone that we''''ve moved way past the balancing point and are heavily loaded in the opposite direction. The world in general takes everything too seriously....lighten up.

I agree. Although I am not religious and strongly support separation, I think any child should be able to wear a religious symbol. That child has no power over anyone and is not setting policy. I don''t give a p o o p if someone is offended. I am tired of trying, by law, to prevent anyone from being offended. If you are offended by something, get away from it.

These nutty Arabs. They want to open their countries up with gambling, tourism, etc., for the money, but then want to act like they are above any purient concerns. Why would ANYONE go there to vacation?????

"The U.S. also has laws against public nudity and explicit acts in public. It would not be tolerated here either."

It happens all the time. It is tolerated here--it is part of the American tradition and courtship. We are talking about public display of affection--there is no credible evidence more happened here. Kissing on a beach after a party, something like that.

The worst thing about these laws is that they are Gender-based discrimination, which is violation of human rights.

In our state, it is legally allowed for a man to jog on the street completely TOPLESS. If a woman committs same action, she may be prosecuted in the name of INDECENT EXPOSURE. The same action totally decent for a man because of being a man is considered so indecent for a woman, just because of being a woman, that she may be thrown into jail.

We know the Catholics suck,the Earth is flat ,the Earth is the center of the Universe.Wonder if that policeman was looking up her dress and for how long ? before he arrested em ? These are the same, Bush wanted to sell are Ports too ? The Religions cops are perverts and Dubai has crossed the line ,so , boycott Dubai. The Government of Dubai owns Casinos in Las Vegas, the girls in the shows, give you a eye full,ironic ? Let them go, an mind your own business.

In Germany nobody in public schools, whether teachers or students, are allowed to wear religious articles or clothing. It has been a sore point with Muslims who insist their girls wear a burka. But for that matter it applies across the board to all religious articles, even Christian crosses.

And yet all these rich people, including Cheney, want to move there.

Morality is a dangerous tool in the hands of a government. It''s for us, after all, and not for them.
