An Australian and a German caught 'French kissing' in the emirate of Dubai have been given six-month jail terms suspended for three years under condition they do not reoffend, a local newspaper reported in the United Arab Emirates yesterday.
The Dubai Court of First Instance found a 26-year-old Australian man, and a 26-year-old German woman guilty of kissing in public.
Names for the couple were not provided. They were also fined 1,000 dirhams ($570) each for being under the influence of alcohol.
Dubai, one of the seven sheikhdoms that make up the United Arab Emirates on the Arabian Peninsula, is the commercial hub and the most permissive emirate in the UAE.
Nonetheless, alcohol consumption is strictly controlled and public displays of sexuality forbidden.

This kind of backwards behavior goes a long way to explaining why the Islamic world will never escape the yoke of the West.
