A Bangladeshi with Scottish habits?

After having lived in the UAE for almost eighteen years, some things are sorely missed. (Cider for a start).

Ras Al Khaimah is like going back in time and the problems they have are dealt with quite severly by the Sharia Court.

The following article appeared in the Gulf News, published in Dubai today. Headlines are mine!

Deviant Driver does the Dirty


Ras Al Khaimah: A man has been sentenced to three months in jail after pleading guilty to charges of bestiality.

The camel involved in the case is to be put down in accordance with Islamic law.

A court official said the Bangladeshi, who worked as a driver, had been spotted going into his employer's barn on a regular basis. His employer became suspicious as his duties did not involve him dealing with animals.

The official said the employer, a UAE national, followed his driver into the barn one day and saw him starting to have sex with a female camel.

The owner lost his temper and started beating him. He then took him to the police station to
press charges.

The official said the driver confessed to police that he used to have sex with one particular camel. The police arrested him and the case was referred to the Public Prosecution.

The official added the man told the prosecution that he had fallen in love with the camel and had sex with the animal. The emirate's Criminal Court sentenced him on Wednesday to three months in jail, to be followed by deportation.

It also stated that the camel be put down as its meat would now be tainted. (Animal Rights organisations and PETA will be doing their dinger on this one).

The animal will be put down at the emirate's slaughterhouse, a representative from the Public Prosecution will be in attendance. (What about a last meal and final satement?)

Thanks to D.S.S.A. for passing this belter on.
