Dubai has been promoting its country as a vacation spot to the world — a rather implausible destination for most. Attracting Western tourists to a country that follows Muslim rules is a hard sell. That was driven home by the latest outrage from an Islamic legal system after Zara-Jayne Moisey, 25, reported her gang rape and gave the names of her attackers (two British men). Dubai police responded by allowing the alleged rapists to leave the country and then arrested Moisey for criminal extra-marital sex. Welcome to Dubai, the desert paradise.
Not exactly what Moisey found in the United Arab Emirates. She was raped by the two men who allegedly filmed the violent attack. Her passport was seized and she is facing trial.
She has a gofundme site to help her out of this nightmare.
Various countries have warned tourists not to wear anything that offend Islamic values and not to show affection in public.
In the meantime, the country may want to change its slogan to create "your extraordinary story." Moisey has one but it hardly going to be a crowd pleaser.
