If her visa was expired as stated the airline pays for her return.

Exactly!

There’s something odd about this story. At the very least, there is MORE to this story.

If you are living there but not a Muslim you can get a license to drink, possess certain quantities of alcohol, keep alcohol at your home. Our friend that was working and living there said he didn’t do it because their laws are pretty arbitrary. Easy to get into a jam there.

FAKE NEWS ALERT!
Newsweak is wrong.

The woman was taking video of the security at the airport, which is illegal and she was stopped for that and got nasty with the security employees for which she then arrested.

Huh, well in that case it wouldn’t have been that terrible. The airline wouldn’t have done its due diligence and had to eat the cost of taking her back. She’d be out the cost of one flight with no visit to Dubai to show for it, but well yes. International travel can be very interesting.

Yeah... what might have been okay in London was not okay in Dubai. You can pretty well count on them being asses in Dubai unless you kiss up to them.

Yes, apparently.

Still best to not place one’s self under the control of a satanic cult.

A Christian, at least, can travel quite a few hairy places while being under the control and care of God. I don’t know about that lady.

Back in the early ‘50s a group of Baptist missionaries held a similar belief, and headed into the Amazon basin in Peru, where the cannibalistic Auca tribe lived.

We’ll never know their thoughts as they perished.

I believe “Indoctrinated” was the word Bob really intended.

If your religion hates beer, dogs, and pulled pork, you’re my enemy.

I’m sure digging around can find a number of incidents about which we can question. However, there is an account I know in which the way one perishing missionary acted that caused the entire tribe to be found believing when a second missionary arrived.

You seem to be serving Satan’s selfish, dark thoughts here. Your manifested thought process is sub-Christian.

Her mistake was asking for a plastic straw to drink the Wine.

Really? What about Dubai makes it a better destination than thousands of others? I literally see nothing in dubai worth visiting.
