O no!

what next?

our security blanket

No pork products?

Want to visit the UAE, on its airline Emirates or partner airline Qantas?
...then with no pork products you must put up.

Set foot in the UAE?
Not I, never ever.

UAE is not compatible with my culture and beliefs.
'strict Islamic rules'...are not for me.

TWO Britons who made world headlines after being arrested for having sex on a beach in Dubai and offending local Muslim customs have now been jailed.
The Britons were sentenced to three months in prison and ordered their subsequent deportation after they were convicted of having sex on the beach.

Michelle Palmer, a 37-year-old publishing executive in Dubai who has been sacked from her job, and Vince Acors, a 34-year-old visitor to the emirate, were found guilty of having sex in a public place in the early hours of July 5 after drinking heavily.
...but the city state still adheres to certain strict Islamic rules.

A British woman and Irish man accused of engaging in sexual activities in a Dubai taxi have been sentenced to three months in prison and then deportation, their lawyer says.

The case is the latest in which Westerners have fallen foul of the United Arab Emirates' decency laws, highlighting cultural differences as the UAE seeks a balance between maintaining its Muslim identity and catering for a vibrant tourism industry.

Rebecca Blake and Conor McRedmond both denied charges of "breach of honour with consent" and committing "an indecent act in a taxi" when they appeared in court last month. They also pleaded guilty to a third charge related to consumption of alcohol in public.

Woman to sue Government over alleged Dubai rape

A Brisbane woman who was jailed in Dubai for adultery after she was allegedly drugged and raped plans to sue the Australian Government.

Alicia Gali, 29, claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by four co-workers at Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort in the United Arab Emirates in June 2008.

She has already been granted leave to sue the resort and will tomorrow seek leave to sue the Commonwealth in the Brisbane Supreme Court.

Ms Gali claims she contacted an Australian consular official for advice over whether to report the incident or go to hospital.

She claims the officer warned her she could face a life sentence if drugs were found in her system, but did not tell her a complaint of rape could see her charged for adultery.

Ms Gali spent eight months in prison over the incident because it is illegal to have sex outside of marriage in the United Arab Emirates.

She was pardoned and released in March 2009, and her lawyer claims she still suffers severe post traumatic stress disorder, nightmares, flash backs, depression and claustrophobia.

#####

The prison was horrible, terror, hell, a Westerner's worst nightmare.

Warning other women against going to the UAE, Ms Gali said she endured eight months in a crowded prison room with up to 30 other women after she complained to authorities of being raped. i

Pretty sure that if you have sex on the beach here you will be arrested.

SOB

I didn't even know that pork was part of our culture.

My advice:

If you can't go a week without a vodka cruiser.....stay home and watch the footy, in your thongs and rugby shorts of course.

I read somewhere that in the states you can buy bacon flavoured vodka.

Pigs have been part of civilisation for thousand of years. The earliest records of pigs are in paintings in caves in Europe that date back from more than 20 000 years ago. The very first pigs in Australia were brought with the First Fleet in 1788 and in that same year there were forty-nine pigs in the colony. There is no evidence that there were pigs in Australia before white men arrived.

Will Qantas allow you to make a pig of yourself with their halal food?

bambu wrote on Apr 5^th, 2013 at 6:36am:


Quite so. However, as some Australians eat pork shouldn't Australian-bound Emirates planes have pork on the menu? Aren't they flying into a country that does eat pork?

Me thinks the birds have flown..... James I of England, James VI of Scotland - soon to lose his head to Parliament...

Ay, Paddy - that's what comes of handing yer national airline over to the One World Order - we cease to have any personal or national identity while everyone else remains the same...

Segues neatly into the loss of industrial capacity, reduction in emissions etc.. all of which leave us bereft of all, while enhancing not one iota of change in the world overall, but strengthening those other countries we deal with.

Oh, well - if we all end up living in hovels we will match the ROTW in terms of living conditions... my figures (still incomplete, sorry_) are that we need to roughly lose about 12 out of 17 economic/income points in order to reach wage parity with Asia overall.... which is on just over 5 points....

Oh, well - as long as the 'prime minister' and all her henchpersons come out of it set up for life......

Was this sex of zer Jew Dreyfus?"

ADDS:-  I don't eat pork as such - bacon and ham but that's it... if offered a pork meal on a flight I would not eat it anyway.  No - I am not a Muslim or whatever - my father farmed pigs when i was young and I don't like to eat them.

But it won't happen. Pigs will fly before a Muslim will bomb a politician in a Western country.

They know that as long as they're only bombing Western civilians, the politicians will continue with their Muslim immigration programs, and their acceptance of a creeping increase in Sharia Law, and their grovelling to the immigrant Muslim communities for their votes.

you know I like Pigs.... and I am not sorry to hear some people dont/wont eat them... have to admit I am not one of them like my bacon sarnies..however if I thought for one moment they had to kill a pig for my sarnie I would give them up as well.

hers to ALL PIGS.....may you FLY FOREVER..

Haha theres a point. Not sure i remember pork ever being on an in flight menu anyway. Its not like they can fry up bacon in the galley.

Gees Herbert. That sure is some melodramatic crap you have posted there.
Here are some facts
- Qantas also have "no Beef" menus when flying into India
- Virgin Australia already doesn't serve pork on flights to Abu Dhabi
- It is common practice for airlines to have regionally inspired dishes when flying to international destinations. Such as stir frys when going to China and Noodles when flying to Singapore.
- You are hypocritically trying to impose your Western values on other nations. "When in Rome do as the Romans do". Its part of international travel.

It would seem that this story has just been a dog whistle for the usual Muslim bashing posters

The_Barnacle wrote on Apr 7^th, 2013 at 10:17am:


Speaking of regionally inspired dishes, I think it could be a way of preparing people psychologically for what kind of food they will be eating when they get there.

Some people shouldn't leave home if they're so obsessed with their own culture.

Or stick to the Gold Coast.

I'm pretty sure it's just another reason to whinge about Muslims though.

Mnemonic wrote on Apr 7^th, 2013 at 1:20pm:


A plane at 37,000 feet is for all practical purposes in neutral territory and a public place in which nobody's culture predominates unless it's the Red Eye to Mecca for the annual hadj.

I would literally have the airline managements publicly flogged for kowtowing to Medieval minorities who are intolerant of non-Muslims having the freedom to eat a Western diet in the neutral environment of a plane at 37,000 feet.

Quote:


I'll sympathise with the Qantas management when I hear that their food policy favours the Western culture passengers during the inbound flights back to Australia.

Sir Spot of Borg wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 5:49am:


By the same token ~ burqas are banned in France and Belgium, and soon to be in Italy and Holland. By your own rules, shouldn't this mean that no passengers flying via Air France or Air Italia inbound for these countries should be allowed to wear a burqa?

You see how messy and culturally 'precious' it all becomes?

But anyway, I take your point.

So okay ~ let's agree upon a fair-and-equitable compromise that should satisfy all parties.

During flights from Muslim countries to Western countries both pork and halal foods are on the menu.

The Westerners don't have to eat the halal foods, and the Muslims are not compelled to eat the pork meals.

Pigs are not sacred to Muslims, and so no 'disrespect' is being shown by Western passengers who eat a pork meal.

Sir Spot of Borg wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 7:35am:


The problem is that of letting a particular culture predominate to the effect that other people are not given the right to practice their own cultural heritage ~ and this in the neutral environment of an international airliner at 37,000 feet.

Sir Spot of Borg wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 7:35am:


You're trying to rationalise why Westerners should be happy to submit to this Islamic mono-cultural fascism in the multicultural environment of a international passenger jet.

Sir Spot of Borg wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 8:20am:


I didn't know the Muslims had became the majority shareholder in Qantas.

Sir Spot of Borg wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 8:20am:


So it would seem, and the question begs: Why aren't Western airlines also banning pork on trips to and from Israel?

Could it be there's less chance of violent retribution from Jews than there is from Muslims and their Religion of Peace?

Sir Spot of Borg wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 8:20am:


Yes we do. It's always been a case of a multicultural menu ~ with alcohol ~ and let every person chose for themselves.

It's just another example of gutless Western leadership rolling over to appease the fascist mentality of a 7th century ethnic community.

If the West doesn't grow some balls soon with regard to resisting the Islamisation of our Western cultural heritage, it will be all too late.

Mnemonic wrote on Apr 10^th, 2013 at 7:10pm:


There are parts of Sydney that are no longer recognisable as a Western country.

Sharia Law is now widely practised in defiance of the laws of this country.

Foods sold at our supermarkets are 'halal' without any by-your-leave to the general public.

Jews at our universities no longer wear their yarmulkes because of intimidation and threats of violence from Muslim students.

Islamic schools have sprung up all over Australia with the specific purpose of Islamising Australian-born children to view themselves as owing their primary loyalties to the nations of Islam, and with a hatred of Israel.

Our Australian soldiers no longer wear their uniforms in public due to their experience of violent threats and intimidating harassment from members of our Muslim community.

Public swimming pools get closed on certain days to accommodate the 'modesty' of Muslim women who wish to swim only with their own kind.

Every Sydney girl who has ever experienced the terror of being bated and threated by groups of Islamic youths at the beaches because they are wearing Western costumes instead of full-body Islamic swim-wear has been a victim of attempts at Islamisation-by-threat.

Over and again our Sydney papers carry the story of Muslim taxi-drivers refusing to pick up blind customers because they are accompanied by their 'seeing-eye' dog ~ dogs being 'haram' (forbidden) to Muslims.

And again, there are stories about Muslim taxi-drivers refusing to pick up customers who are taking home any sort of alcoholic drink ~~ alcohol being 'haram' to Muslims.

Muslim mothers in Sydney were reported as having rushed to a school to withdraw their daughters upon learning they were being introduced to dancing lessons ~~ dancing being 'haram' to Muslims'.

Islam is a creeping disease that is spreading rapidly throughout the Western world. Colonel Gaddafi was quite correct when he boasted that Europe's 10 million immigrant Muslims is a guarantee that Islam will prevail throughout the continent in just a very few short years time.

Already there are cities like Antwerp and Rotterdam where the most popular name for boy babies is 'Mohammed'.

There are suburbs in Europe where Christian women are forced to wear a hijab in the streets if they want to avoid a barrage of disgusting abuse from the locals.

Mnemonic wrote on Apr 10^th, 2013 at 7:10pm:


It sets a dangerous precedent. Next, they'll be prohibitions in our restaurants and cafes, our hotels and shopping malls against the sale of pork products as these will be deemed 'offensive' to the cultural sensitivities of our Muslim citizens.

And I think Qantas has a ban on pork because they fear a violent retribution if they don't kowtow to Muslim cultural sensitivities.

It's all a capitulation to avoid the potential for violence.
