Stay away from Muslim countries.

 

[Ted66]

Stay away from Muslim countries.

Stay away from booze.

 

[Oakley]

Stay away from filming.

Stay away from booze.

Ah, but she consumed a free glass of wine on an aircraft in the air.

So the answer still is, stay away from Muslim countries, as this incident displays, they tend to be quite backward.

Nobody gets jailed in Dubai for having a drink on the incoming flight. Otherwise the state owned airlines Emirates and Ethiad would not serve alcohol in the flights. She was jailed because of an invalid visa and filming officials.

Strangely enough the British government have nothing to say.



Upon arrival in Dubai, an official reportedly told Holman she needed to return to the United Kingdom immediately because of an invalid visa, at which point she took out her phone and started filming the encounter, according to human rights group Detained in Dubai.

THAT makes more sense.

And Oakley's post reflected that.

Um further in the article

Radha Stirling, the chief executive of Detained in Dubai, said: “The UAE maintains a deliberately misleading facade that alcohol consumption is perfectly legal for visitors.

“Tourists cannot be blamed for believing that the Emirates are tolerant of western drinking habits, but this is far from reality.

​

“It is wholly illegal for any tourist to have any level of alcohol in their blood, even if consumed in flight and provided by Dubai’s own airline. It is illegal to consume alcohol at a bar, a hotel and a restaurant, and if breathalysed, that person will be jailed.”

Stirling has called on the Foreign Office and the UK government to do more to “protect” British nationals, and claimed airlines were “complicit” and needed to be held accountable.

As a woman, I would never travel to a Muslim country. There is just too much risk to me to do so.

Wise move, ma lady.

I wonder if we will ever no the truth on what triggered the incarceration, the glass of wine on an aircraft in flight, or the visa, or the video, or any combination of the above.

If it involves a non Muslim women in a Muslim country, all bets are off regarding the truth.

Didn't you read Anonymous' answer?.

Didn't you read Anonymous' answer?.

Yep,... "in Dubai, an official reportedly,...

And I will stand by my view point, that we may never know the whole truth about what transpired.

Funny how so many "Headlines" are so deceiving and kind of untrue. They purposely do it to get your attention. But after reading the story it was posted without and validity to the truth.
