yeah I think UAE isn't that bad as others in east?

thats cuz theres cameras everywhere and the royal family has money from oil

backkkkk

police state = look at our country for tourists

and hows it for normal living people in UAE?

I must provide a religion on my passport. no atheism alowed or it's the electric chair

damn thats crazy

i was just about to say

like what I've heard is also some stuff like public finger cutting off if you misbehave

no social media posts that goes against the countries policies or its deportation for you

they toned that down, now it's just deportation

but if you really fuck up then you go to one of those desert torture prisons

@DEATHLOK how much do you have now

heard from western influencers that they always had to register if they wanted to social media post something and the government had to look over the material recorded before publiciation

yeah

damn still tough

im down 2$ right npw

but now they just ban what they dont like its easier

yeah and morally a bit more chill lmfao

the new minister of education wants to ban all non-islam conforming children books

that means no talking animals, no magic, and no love

this is shit

BBQ so closest

close

so no harry potter, no 1001 arabian nights and no kalila wa dumna. both western works and arab classics are banned

my brother is sometimes visiting dubai and since some month he got a quran and is no more eating pork

crazy tbh

The other day I found out they banned najib mahfouz, he was the only arab to win a nobel prize for his literature

its unbelievable
