The United Arab Emirates have supplied the most recent example of the Sharia legal system in the Muslim world. South African Emlyn Culverwell‚ 29, and his Ukrainian fiancée Iryna Nohai, 27, were arrested after Nohai wemt to the doctor over stomach pains. In the UAE doctors appear to have no notion of confidentiality (or humanity) and informed the police when he discovered that she was pregnant. Since she had not yet married Culverwell, that meant that they had violated the Islamic code against sex outside of marriage — even though the impregnation occurred outside of the UAE. They are criminally charged.
So this is a couple about to get married who simply went to the UAE for a vacation and visited a doctor. They are now under arrest and they have been held since January.
Another moral victory for Sharia law.
UAE leaves off the Sharia part in its push for tourists. They can change their pitch to “UAE: come for the shopping, stay for the flogging.”
Reblogged this on Citizens, not serfs.
This story can hardly elicit any sympathy from any thinking person. As soon as I learned that this couple was vacationing in the United Arab Emirates, that immediately conveys that they are dopes, dupes, fools, and–the odds heavily favor–they are leftists. (Though, by no means, of course, are any of these things mutually exclusive, and, more often than not, go together.)
What decent human being would want to vacation in the Untied Arab Emirates? What, was a vacation in Yemen already booked up? Or is your idea of a good vacation getaway, a gang-rape? Then maybe Sweden is your dream vacation?
And if you’re really set on vacationing in the middle east. why not vacation at a civilized nation like Israel? The answer to that question is that leftist avoid Israel precisely because it is civilized–unless they’re there to protest that civilization in Israel that they hope to replace with Islamic barbarianism.
Of course, leftists learn absolutely ZERO from any of these experiences, which should exclude any sympathy from even the most blinded empathic person.
In early 2011, for example, leftist journalist Lara Logan was gang-raped by Egyptian Muslim “democracy” protesters. Logan had been rooting for the very same people that gang-raped her. Yet, even after the experience, has she abandoned any of the tenants of her leftist agenda? No, she didn’t, because leftists are ultimately stupid people. And as they say, “ignorance can be educated and crazy can be medicated, but there’s no cure for stupid.”
Amen, Ralph. Great comment. Probably makes far too much sense for those who equate a society’s purportedly low homicide rate, which cannot be verified due to the unknown number of deaths and murders justified and condoned in such communities, with a country’s level of civility and safety for the infidel traveler.

The Yemen is an impoverished country racked by political violence, the UAE is neither poor nor suffering any political violence. Gang rapes are rare in the United States, much less Sweden.
Ralph, Hell is defined as a place where there is no reason. Trying to reason with this person is an invitation to Hell. Good luck.
desperatelyseeekingleftism, money doesn’t mean civilization. If history hasn’t taught you that, then nothing will. The wealth in a nation has NOTHING to do with the civility of a nation’s laws. As for gang-rapes in Sweden, I would suggest that you make this your next vacation. But please avoid any genuine news and reality regarding Sweden before doing it. You might cancel your plans.

You blowhards keep issuing animadversions contra things I never said. My suggestion is that if you’re at all interested in replying to anything I might say, you actually read it and digest it first.
Ralph Adamo – Sweden has been under-reporting it’s rapes and gang rapes by immigrants. And by under-reporting, I mean denying them.
Sure, Paul, denial and mischaracterization are tools oof the trade of leftist propagandists. Who can forget Obama’s mischaracterization of the mass shooting as “workplace violence” that took place on November 5, 2009 at Fort Hood (near Killeen, Texas), where Islamic terrorist Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others?
Not only was this a total Orwellian insult, but by mischaracterizing the murders and terrorism as “workplace violence,” Obama deliberately denied the victims (or families) benefits that they were entitled to under the law. Consequently, in the 113th Congress, Representative John Carter introduced legislation to change the shooting designation from “workplace violence” to “combat related” which would make the victims of the shooting eligible to receive full benefits and the Purple Heart. The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to any member of the Armed Forces of the United States who, while serving under competent authority in any capacity with one of the U.S. Armed Services after April 5, 1917, has been wounded or killed. Specific examples of services which warrant the Purple Heart include any action against an enemy of the United States. Fortunately, the victims and families got their benefits, despite Obama.
But the term “workplace violence” lives on in infamy. Of course, total denial of the truth serves the leftists’ interests best, but the next best thing to advance their propaganda is to misclassify, mischaracterize, and distort, among many other duplicitous techniques and methods.
Should they have been smarter? Yes. The point is, though, that you ought to be free to vacation any damn where in the world that you want without having to put up with this sharia BS.

Strange as it may seem to you, the UAE’s legislators do not draft laws with an eye to pleasing you.
