aww it is soooo good to hear that kinda feed back about the sharjah. i have statelite tv which gives us the sharjah channel. I thought about moving there inshallah one day, based on their clean tv. i figured that if their tv is clean, than that must reflect the personality of the people, as what ever comes ontv, ususally indicates what people interests are.
hopes that makes sense

sis it really is a nice place mashaAllah...i wouldnt moving there once i have graduated but am not sure
 
Once again... Sharjah is not a country... Dubai is not a country...

Also, Maryam, of course prostitution is a real issue. But it is tied to the trafficking and exploitation of women from all around the world. The UAE police calls these women "kufar whores" and locks them up. They do nothing to stop the slave-trade.

More conscientious people should join forces against this thing. I'm doing my part. Are you?

i know dubai is a city just meant that whilst i was in dubai it didnt feel like i was actually in a muslim country due to the atomsphere of the city of dubai...i mean if i go to rome and it is not very christian like i would say i didnt feel like i was in a christian country....
 
Nobody's interested in getting their hands dirty and approaching the real problem of the sex trade. Ah, armchair politics!
 
Yup that is another problem related to the things we are talking about. Dubai is becoming corrupt in many aspects and the 'real problem' is the fact that the police ignore these problems. These things can easily be diminished to marginal numbers but it brings in too much money so nothing is being done. After all that is generally what Dubai is about, making money.
 
Lush mentioned the human trafficking element, which is horrific. More needs to be done to combat this issue.

However, I must admit when I first read this thread (earlier today), my first thought was to question why brothels should not exist in Islamic regions. Islamic men frequent brothels (as do men of other faiths). If brothels are kept out of Islamic countries, it would be easier to completely ignore this issue, which is in opposition to Islam. Why should Islamic men travel to Westernized countries and "take advantage" of kufar women?

I say as long as there are enough Islamic men to keep brothels in business, then let the brothels operate in Islamic countries.

I dont know how many people actually know this, but these women who work in the sex industry were orginally brought in for the non muslim male population in dubai, as a means of detering them of emarati women. I got this info from a sisters, whos husband has friends in high places.

Obviously,now emarati and men from other khaleeji states are indulging in prositution, which they didnt expect. Also many of these khaleeji men are sleeping around with these prositiues and then going on to marry young gulf sisters- most who are virgins. Its all very disgusting and many of the women who are brought now are often tricked into prostitution by crimnal gangs who are bascially pimpin in Dubai and making a fortune from the girls. These girls are abused, raped and have no way out because theirs now law to actually protect them from the men who not only sell them, but the ones who use them as a means of sexual fulfilment.

Dubai has just too many problems and the goverment need to start taking action against the real criminals!


Lush: are their any organisations that deal with Dubai/sex slave industry? If so, i'd be interested in knwoing more.

O Muslims! The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "You will imitate the nations before you very closely to the extent that if they went into a lizard's hole, you would enter it as well” his companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, inquired: “(Do you mean) the Jews and Christians, O Messenger of Allaah?” He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam replied: "Who else?” (Bukhaari & Muslim). The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam also said: "The Day of Judgment will not come until my Nation closely imitates the nations before them.” It was asked: “Like the Persians and Romans, Messenger of Allaah?” He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam replied: "Who are the nations (I could mean) except those?” (Bukhaari).

No wonder why U.A.E is sooo unislamic.They're greatly influenced by the west and look up to them as their role models.They've a great respect for the West,but does the West respect them equally?No,if the west did then they would have let the Abu Dubai ports into the U.S.

There is an organization called La Strada that helps combat trafficking around the world. Their Ukrainian office has ties to Dubai, due to the fact that a lot of girls get sent there and are quickly ensnared and enslaved. I am personal friends with a member of La Strada's Ukrainian team, and I interviewed her last year. The stories she told me are horrific. :grumbling
 
However, I'm not familiar of any grass-roots organizations in the UAE that work with this problem directly, although I'm sure there must be some. Amnesty International is a good place to look into for that kind of thing, they have a wealth of information.
