A BRISBANE woman was jailed for eight months in the United Arab Emirates for claiming she was raped by three men after her drink was spiked in a hotel bar.
The woman, identified only as Amanda, said she ordered one drink from the bar in the United Arab Emirates hotel she was staying, but then remembered nothing until waking up the next afternoon.
Amanda...was arrested after reporting her rape to police and later sentenced to 11 months' jail for having illicit sexual relations and one month for consumption of alcohol.
Amanda said she had extensively researched the customs of the largely Muslim country before living there, but was not aware of the laws surrounding women and sex and drinking.
"It is a very glamourous lifestyle and you can make a lot of money but unfortunately there's the other side that people just aren't aware of.''
She said four high-ranking muslim men had to witness penetration to prove a rape charge, so women who reported rapes were typically seen as confessing to illicit sexual relations or prostitution.

A very good reason for not investing in any real estate, or business’ in those 56 nations.
No kidding. You couldn’t pay me to visit the barbarian lands.
One word: Muslim
If you are a woman, and you don’t believe in wearing a burka, and you have no intention of ever wearing one, stay away from Muslim countries like the plague.
If you're not aware of what can happen to a (probably) white non-Muslim woman in a Muslim country, a Darwin Award awaits you.
What happened to the days when an attack on a US or British citizen brought a squadron of battleships to the coast and regiments of marines ready to assualt? Sigh... simple fact is we could, and imVho should, but ‘kindler, gentler’ souls than mine prevail.
Amnesty International’s Michael Hayworth said he sent a letter to United Arab Emirates officials, asking them to comply with United Nation’s Women’s Rights Conventions and remove discriminatory laws.

Oh, yeah? How’s that workin’ out for ya, Hayworth?

Quite right. I can’t imagine where Amanda did the research she speaks of regarding their customs.
The woman is Australian.
Probably some St. Dept. manual.
The amazing thing is: your average left-wing, American feminist could learn the details of this case without feeling the slightest bit of outrage. Muslims are given a pass because the anti-Americanism they share with the left is more important than any abuse of women they may engage in.
The peaceful religion of Islam strikes again.
Spot-on. Femanazis (and radical leftists in general) regard Muslims in an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” sort of way. The fact that their heads would be among the first on the chopping block if the Islamists ever ran the show doesn’t faze them one bit. ...their hatred for American culture is that extreme.
How many nukes would it take to destroy every Muslim city in the world with over 100,000 population? Maybe NATO, Russia, and India could get on the same page with this one. Needless to say we need an immediate “regime change” here.
Well at least Risa had the sense not to go here.
