That is unbelievable. Oh well. The UAE will inevitably turn into a festering shit hole as soon as their oil runs out.

Unlucky Grooverider.
He was also caught wih pr0n. Both big no-no's over there I guess. He's one of our top DJ's so I reckon there'll be enough of a fuss over here that we get him back within a few months. I hope so anyway, nobody deserves to go to jail for four years for having a bit of smoke, even if they are a dumb motherfucker for having it Dubai.

"Grooverider’s lawyers had tried to argue in his defence that he was unaware of the laws."
Since when is ignorance a defense. This whole thing sounds pretty dumb. If i was going to take weed anywhere other than the US i'd check out the laws first. This is reasonable i think.

They should argue that their laws are fucked up, and that Mr.Grooverider needs to smoke cannabis on a regular basis otherwise he'll promote secularism, and force women to dress immodestly.

It's their fucking country.
If you come into their country w/ drugs that are against the law, you suffer the consequences.
Nobody who doesn't live there has any right to tell them what is permissable or how they should run their state.

Yes, but if they came in your country and told you they were making your women wear headscarves and banning alcohol, you'd probably be angry.
It is their religious belief, and if you don't like it you don't have to go.

The difference is I don't think we're telling them anything about what to believe.
Just that they have overly harsh jail sentences for petty "crimes" that seems to fuck over many tourists. Has nothing to do with their beliefs.

It has everything to do with their beliefs.
Why do you think alcohol and other drugs are banned in every Muslim country? Because it's in the fucking Koran.
I didn't pull the religious reference out of thin air.
If it is their religious belief that marijuana is bad, which it is, then who are you to push YOUR beliefs on them?
Are you that ethnocentric that you think everything that you believe is right and everything they believe is wrong?
