Is Dubai Better Than American Cities?

[@Gengar8886]

Dubai should be a role model for cities in the USA. in terms of safety, better infrastructure and taxes.

[@Hajibaba500]

USA has more money, better resources, better engineers, etc to make hundreds of Dubai’s in America.

The problem that people have with places like UAE, Dubai, etc is that they don't like to follow rules, laws and regulations, people want to live a bit lawless and do whatever they want. I would rather live in a place like UAE where there's safety and health is great, than in a country where you have freedom to do whatever you want but the health is terrible and there's gun violence, drugs everywhere etc.

Freedom of expression, the right to vote, the right to hold hands, the right to live with whomever you want, the right to not live a muslim lifestyle is not "a bit lawless". These are basic human rights you don't have in UAE. It's not a Utopia!

@@specialmoment8102 can u explain?

[@shyxpretion7429]

Simply put we have a saying in Arabic: من أمن العقوبة أساء الأدب, those who feel safe from punishment will Always misbehave. Regarding crimes, our society works in layers, the first one is the family unit where ALL family members r required to behave nd should morally correct each other, then the second layer is the society it self. We don’t believe in the term “everyone is free to do whatever they want as long as they don’t hurt anybody”, as long as u live in this society u HAVE to follow its moral values nd the society has the right to shame nd judge u. Nd the last layer is the shariah laws for those who ignore the first 2 layers.

[@shyxpretion7429]

@@KaLiGr in our religion and culture PDA is a big problem no matter wat ur sexuality is. Shariah laws is strict, yet to implement the law there is even more strict conditions that must be met. For example, homosexuality is not a sin as long as u don’t have an intercourse, because ppl can’t control their feelings but they can control their actions, if someone accused u of homosexuality they MUST provide a proof, must be a wetness that saw u having intercourse. That condition is extremely hard to meet because who would allow anyone to see them being intimate, unless ur into these kind of things than i would say the possibility of u being caught is high. So if u live in dubai I would say u should keep ur pda nd intimacy in private, the government doesn’t go after u unless you did something that bothered others like PDA. As a Muslim i believe homosexuality is a sin, nd just like any sin as long as u r alive than there is always a possibility for repentance. I will never try to hurt or harm u in any way nd if u needed help as a fellow human being I should help as long as it doesn’t involve sins. The matter of sins in Islam is 2, first ones is the sins that involves injustice to others nd these sins cannot be forgiven unless the one wronged forgive it, the other one is sins where it’s only between u nd god, for example drinking alcohol or having intercourse outside of marriage, as long as u repent u r forgiven BUT if u published ur sins to the public u must be punished by shariah law. I hope I explained it well

But they pray 5 times a day. Got to give them credit for the facade they put out for being so religious and conservative. But behind clothes doors those man dresses come off!!

[@miltonoliver3705]

Finally, the cities are more diverse in the USA, with many more religions and cultural beliefs. The Middle East has a dominant religion that is very strict in this country the USA some people have no belief system, and that's another why American cities shouldn't be compared to Dubai, you have compare apples and apples not two different things with much different, cultures, races, value systems etc.

[@timmyalassad3683]

There are a lot of religions practised in the UAE. Almost all the religious holidays are also celebrated as well. UAE hosts a lot of people from many cultures and from many economic levels. I would say coming from Australia, that I have interacted with more cultures in the UAE then I did in Australia.

[@frankgradus9474]

Well said. Besides, an answer to the West going down the drain, its decline in moral standards, genderqueer religion being thrust upon our kids by queer clergy, etc., cannot be, I speak for myself only, Islamic Brave New World of an absolute and unforgiving peace. Also, slavery masked as Kafala, referring to Black people in the ME racially as “عبيد" which literally translates to “slave” aren't lovely. Some American cities have been going down the drain, true, but to me Dubai is a vanity fair dump. Islamic Brave New World. Not up my street.

[@Hush-i5v]

@@frankgradus9474 MOST MUSLIMS ARE HYPOCRITES AS WELL

[@majidsaeed1063]

​@frankgradus9474 You greatly exaggerate the slavery claim. KAFALA means sponsorship. Basically guest workers from poor countries are sponsored with paying jobs, food and accommodation to work for the host country. It's in the country's best interest to make sure these "guest workers" are treated well otherwise nobody will come. All the money they earn is then sent back to their home country so both sides benefit. As the amount they earn is considered way better than whatever they earn back home. In return the host country gets cheaper labor and people willing to do hard jobs. And yes passport confiscation is illegal, if it happens by any company its a crime.

[@majidsaeed1063]

Dubai is more diverse than most western cities. It's basically an expat city. Yes, Publicaly Islam is dominant as it is an Islamic country. However you can do whatever you want privately as long as you don't harm anyone. In the West its the opposite. Liberal in Public and Religion in Private.

I see far more downsides than Zuby does with the Middle East, but crime isn't one of them (we'll leave what are considered crimes to the side for now). There is ZERO deniability that crime and punishment in the "Western World" (EU, USA) is an absolute travesty. How ridiculous is it that instead of throwing away the key on violent criminals, we prefer to have citizens living in fear that they could be next. If crimes were more harshly punished, and our culture was less tolerant of violence...people would think more before committing violent crimes.

Nobody could agree with anything and then racial flare ups arise every few years. And yet u are saying, let's split everybody up so that each state have multiple parties. Boy if you can't handle 2 parties in a country, just imagine the massacre of hundreds of them. I can imagine nothing will get done in America because every states are selfish and they only want what's best for their states. That's why the federal government is necessary. It provides infrastructures and structures and systems that are necessary to connect to each and every state of America. It is also necessary in order to put the border in check, immigration in check and so on. The federal government can and must do better but to eliminate it altogether is foolish.

Well it's not as simple as that. In Dubai you’d face a fine and/or jail, and deportation for stealing. He wouldn’t face having his hand cut off. In a small town in UAE where people still follow the Sharia Law probably they do. And even then it is not a simple thing as you are accused, chopped your hands off. You look at the facts first. And then you look at the severity of the crime, so if let's say some poor beggar hasn't had any money to eat for days and he stole some bread they won't get their hand chopped off. It is usually those gangster burglars that get these types of punishment. And even then it is really rare to ever resort to this type of punishments because crimes are literally non existent.

Its not as simple as that, there's many criteria for the stricter punishment. In-addition its often used more as a deterrent than actual implementation.
