Irish Air Hostess Allegedly Domestically Abused In Dubai

I wonder will Tori and her family do the media circuit, TLLS etc., once home, this is getting lots of attention in UK media too, she should name and shame her abusive husband everywhere

Where have I said ''I believed in them'' ?I haven't defended them at all. I don't believe we are in a position to criticise an entire country or cast stones until we're without sin.

Employee rights in the UAE are sparse.. Especially for foreigners. Your employer can report you to the authorities for the smallest misdemeanours. You will then receive threatening messages and will usually have to "pay"your employer to settle up.

That's a bit harsh on Tori Towey though. Tough cheese for her eh? Isn't it a pity for her that she didn't come from a country which would have that moral authority then.

Who told a foreogner to mind their own business? I haven't seen that anywhere.

Each country has their own laws on abortion. I voted for it but I wouldn't want to know how anyone else voted.

LOL we're the foreigners in case you hadn't noticed - because that's what you're doing, saying we, the Irish, are in no position to criticise the UAE because of our own history.

Same as the other poster who says she disobeyed their laws and should take the consequences. Their laws are barbaric, and I have no problem saying so, regardless of Ireland's shameful treatment of women in the past. Or even because of a judge a month ago. That still doesn't make a legal system that systematically penalises women any less barbaric.

You, and I, and those posters, are ALL "foreigners" in this instance. Because we're talking about Dubai. And we're perfectly entitled to criticise barbaric medieval laws in another country, regardless of our own history. Especially when an Irish woman is the victim of those laws.

You're sounding like those English people who think everyone else is an immigrant, but that the English abroad are expats. 😁

That's a poor comparison. Ask any Muslim whether Mohammed said it was acceptable to hit your wife. And was that in Arabic or was it translated by some anonymous translator from some other language that nobody speaks any more?

Because that's a very different level of authority than the old testament which is a collection of bits and bobs from Judaism, translated from several languages, many of no longer exist. That's why there are several versions of most of those stories. Unlike Mohammed's teachings about beating your wife. There's also a story about where he hit Aisha (the 9 year old that he raped) on the chest and bruised her, for some minor transgression. Since children are taught that Mohammed was the perfect Muslim, everything he did is above criticism. There's literally nothing similar in Christianity.

I know next to nothing about scientology and have no idea what relevance it has here anyway, so can't reply to that. But I don't think banning religions works too well.

So Tori Towey can go hang then? Is that your conclusion? We can't do or say anything about her horrific treatment because Magdalene Laundries something something?

How come you're not all over the Lucy Letby thread saying we shouldn't criticise the UK legal system because our own history bla bla?

Or does that only apply to brown countries?

I am reading a report on BBC saying her passport was destroyed, interested to know by whom.

Nobody said to praise them. Amazing what lads read in posts, truly amazing.
