Rod Stewart 'could have broken strict UAE laws' with mock ISIS execution video
Mirror ^ | 3-2-17 | Tom Bryant, Steve White, Chris Kitching

Sir Rod Stewart could be in breach of strict cyber-crime laws after he was filmed seeming to mimic a beheading in a video. Legal experts have warned the United Arab Emirates' laws forbid people from inciting religious contempt, discrimination or hatred.

Radha Stirling, legal consultant for Detained in Dubai, said: “I can cite precedents where they have put people in prison for lesser crimes than this.” The families of killer Jihadi John ’s victims have branded the singer “disgusting”.

The singer has offered his “deepest apologies”, but said his actions in the Abu Dhabi desert were “misinterpreted”.

The singer, 72, was filmed forcing a male friend to kneel in front of him, then holding his hair and making a cutting motion across his throat.

It’s not actually legal unless you do it for real.

Abu Dhabi? Really? Rod Stewart has done much more than the great nation of Abu Dhabi has ever done (or ever shall do) to contribute positive vibrations into our sick world. Rod Stewart has done his share to MAGA! Abu Dhabi can either get with the program, or get an old-fashioned ass-whooping!

That wasn’t Rod Stewart! Rod has always been a ladies’ man. The stomach pump relates to a minor British New Romantic singer of the 1980s.

Hey.... Rod bought me a beer at New Orleans International
while I was waiting for my lady to land. Then I bought him one, or two.
Just two guys waiting for a lady. Class act. One of those moments.

Well, we’ll see how “strict” those laws are. Maybe it’s OK if celebs break them, you know, like in America.

Always looking for a new thrill. Gerbils don’t cut it anymore.

There was definitely a rumor in the 70s about Rod Stewart getting his stomach pumped to remove...umm...fluids. Every kid in middle/high school knew about it.

Really? I never heard that, I always thought Rod was 110% on the hetero side of the fence.

The rumor was probably false. I think the rumor was sometimes changed to Steven Tyler, if I recall correctly.

I was wondering when that was going to be mentioned. Only four posts. Not bad.

Ah, the great religion of peace, where beheading infidels is accepted, but depicting a beheading is a punishable act...

About ten years ago it was changed to Britney Spears and the rumor was on steroids because of the interwebs.
