Is SA the crime centre of the world???

Moslem law, wasn't it moslems who caused 9/11 who blew up a London bus killing 40 people , bought down a plane over Scotland killing over 100 and so on.
Britain is usually on high alert with cameras at every corner, we are targeted by terrorists here it used to be the IRA bombing in London when I worked there , I remember it well

The Internet is such a great anonymous stage.

I think that you are deluding yourself, of course they were Moslems, including the telban

You have a good point but I was referring to a stable country like the Dubai emirate.
Maybe it is a case of denial or "greener Grass Syndrome"

rofl... you are amazingly stupid! i have no words for you as it seems that you are like an ostrich with your head stuck in the ground. open your eyes and look around and sometimes you should also wax your ears so that you can work on that hearing.

Micky, it is very dangerous lumping people together in groups without being specific, particular where misdeeds are committed. If I said I was robbed by a green person then all green people are bad it's like saying pink people caused 911 so all pink people must be shot.

Perhaps some pink, green and others were involved but it doesnt mean everyone is bad.

You are going to "pee off" a lot of good people by lumping them all together.By the same token I could say the Christians are a bunch of no good murdering swine and can't be trusted because look what they did in the crusades and the Spanish inquisition. And the Brits are even worse because of the soccer hoolganism and the culprits are British therefore all British are hooligans...phew dangerous stuff....and completely incorrect

And all Germans are bad because of the atrocities in the 2nd world war. Generalisation like this is extremely dangerous and patently untrue.

Coming back to the Moslem Law I was referring to: I meant strict punishment for crimes committed. Harsh jail sentences in unfriendly jails, cutting off of limbs and heads as a deterent etc and yes, I do know that that is not done in Dubai anymore but the culture influences are still prevalent to the area.

Perhaps if my country started enforcing a similar law with be-headings for drug dealers on a Friday afternoon there MAY be a reduction in the "meths heads" around or hey how about amputation for stealing?

For every visible policeman on the streets in Dubai there are 30 CID undercover cops floating around.

I, personally, feel extremely safe in Dubai in even the darkest alley compared to my home country. As you seem to feel extremely safe in my country from comments you made earlier

Very few Western Countries have done as much for their own people as the Emirates have done for theirs and I admire their rulers for that and their vision. I , personally, feel honored as an outsider to be offered the opportunity to work in their country for the kind of return that is impossible in mine. If it means a whole bunch of different rules so be it ..when I am a guest in your house I do what you expect from me ...but hey..thats just me

Thank you MichaelJ. You have put it more eloquently!
Yes Dubai is a much safer city than Jhb. I love it here. I can jump into my car at any time of day or night and go out without even thinking about it. I have left my car open on numerous occasions by mistake and nobody has even thought of getting into it. I have left my house keys (together with my car keys) on my house door by mistake and woke up the next morning looking for it only to find it still hanging on the other side... and guess what? Nobody has come into my space and demanded to take my things! When I get into my car, I have a smug feeling of throwing my handbag on the passenger seat without thinking of a smash and grab at the next robot! It's obviously healthier living such a carefree life like the one I live today. All because I live in a Muslim country where crime is under control.
