I don't care if you think they're silly but then again your probably too old to have a pair of these avators and used to wearing specs.

And now you have just proved what a silly (& unpleasant) little boy you really are.

I think I choose to leave them on, thanks for the input anyway!

I think anybody who breaks the law of a country, whether he/she disagree with it is, definitly mistaken.

However the biggest issue is the utter injustice in this inappropriate sentence:

- The woman did not see the kiss her self

- She did not show up to the court

- The hearing was made in Arabic. (WTF!)

- The laws are not clearly explained " Grey Area"

I'm surprised the british embassy didn't interfer to stop such acts?

The other thing is the misleading title of these news, the issue wasn't that the couples were kissing in public or not, but the inappropriate sentence and inappropriate court procedures which is the classic routine. This is what needs to be addressed.

& since these laws/court procedures are very flexible, you will always find such injustice.

I must say here that we didn't hear the other side of the story yet although usually not given.

I am , and I hope I'm wrong, noticing that this kinda news encourges people to report more acts that they deem "Indecent". Maybe there was some commulative resenment to a lifestyle so different?

I think for westren expats, it would be a good idea to start an official community/non profit org/ cultural centre, to help bridge the gaps between the two cultures. I am postive that if the message was dropped, somebody on the other side will pick it up. monthly meetings can take place ( facilitated by educated/well respected figures on both sides) , joint activities...etc

I mean if everyone keeps livin in there own silos, they will keep thinking the worst.

Maybe we can pick this subject up in a seperate thread as I believe something good and postive can come out of it. I mean we've tried the negative-let's-complain-and-do-nothing- approach.

If a group would like to meet and discuss this in person i'm quite happy to do so.
