Irish Air Hostess Allegedly Domestically Abused In Dubai

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?

sorry but I really couldn’t care less and this thread is not about Islam anyway / it’s about a woman who got abused by her fcked up pr1ck partner and the rulers of the country she lived in who pissed on her grief - do you honestly believe the rulers of the UAE abstain from pork sausages and alcohol and formication ? They’re using Islam to control their population - they’ll be off to London in the early autumn to race their super cars up and down the high street and buy up the bargains in Harrods whilst raping their assistants and getting fcked on drink and drugs - nothing to do with religion

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.

communication is in the interpretation - and I’m not the only one thinking differently to what you wanted us to believe so don’t give me that - you also seem to be defending every post you make - not a good sign really is it?

oh ok I admit it - I only have leaving cert English - didn’t know we needed a PhD to contribute - I sowwy

I've no idea how people keep falling for it. Must be getting time for another reference to dead Gazan children again.

Nothing I said broke the rules lads.

Victim blaming again, you're making quite a habit of it.

UEA on the other hand repealed their suicide laws a decade ago, but in practice just charged someone under a law that now no longer exists.

I don't think it is actually a crime. They have a mechanism to "help" people who attempt suicide by giving a judge the power to send them to a mental home for up to 6 months. Or what they call a "healing facility".

The charges were always going to be dropped even if done it very quick time in this instance.

They only got married in March and were charged with mutual assault in May. They reconciled and withdrew the charges against each other.

Sounds like a classic horrible violent marriage with alcohol a factor, hardly a unique situation but always sad.

Hopefully she gets home soon and her family convince her not to reconcile again.

Will the piece of $hit husband be in trouble at all?

I thought alcohol was decriminalised in Dubai a few years ago?

Wouldn't be surprised if tourist concessions get reported as general legalisation.

The whole point of the likes of Dubai paying for influencers is to present a superficial appearance of western norms.

I was talking about what it says in the Quran, not what Dubai legislation says about it.

AFAIAA alcohol is allowed in certain places in Dubai, and is tolerated more generally eg in private homes, for foreigners at least (and wealthy Dubai citizens of course), but its ambiguous status is also used as a way to keep bothersome foreigners quiet, because they are often technically breaking the law on alcohol, so that is a weapon that can always be used against them if they ever try to complain about other issues.

She's on her way home to roscommon they say...... Has the poor woman not suffered enough....

On her way home

Yes, but weren't the couple in a restaurant before the attack?

Anyway, I just read she is home. Very happy for her, that she is out of there.
