You do realize that kissing on the cheek is legal there, right? Your title and comment are a clever mockery of people completely mangling an article, right?

[ingeneensueva]

It should still be bombed. Prolly lots of terrorist wanna-bes there. And just cuz.

Only correct answer:

I don't like authoritarian laws (social or economic) anymore than the next guy, but C'MON...

They were sentenced for kissing ON THE LIPS and touching. Believe their claim that it was only on the cheek if you want, but let's not mangle the situation beyond its twisted reality.

1. Whenever traveling -- their country, their laws, their cops, their courts, your risk.

2. The denial is equally hearsay, and there appear to be multiple witnesses supporting the lips/touching thing.

3. Innocent until proven gulty is not an international standard.

A bunch of white people saw that negro rape that man's wife. Get the rope!

A bunch of white people saw that negro rape that man's wife. Get the rope! Obviously, it's the negro's fault for kissing her on the lips.

[JesexhiSeeces]

Now witnesses are irrelevant?

There are apparently several, and they all lied at the same time about the same thing to get some guy in trouble who they do not know. That's called conspiracy theory.

Give me break, people. First, Oerdin claims they were SENTENCED for kissing on the cheek. Second, he claims the only evidence is hearsay. How much more ridiculous BS (which is contradicted in his OP article) can he come up with? Obviously, he is doing this on purpose... noone is that stupid.

Witnesses can see lots of things. I'm surprised you don't think it's plausible.

[WUlcN1Rz]

How were these neckers sentenced before they have been convicted?

Sex would be great if you could be thrown in prison for it.

You might want to think about that statement for a minute.

[singleGirl]

Most Brits I have seen are so ugly that they should get 6 months for any public display of affection.

[TagBahthuff]

Several people lied at the same time about a person they do not know. Seriously? Unless these witnesses have a history of working together to indict people, I don't see how you indict them. For all we know, restaurant employees as well as patrons testified.

You seem to fail at understanding that most arabs living down their are racists. They will never let an opportunity pass to piss on whitey or blackey for that matter.

[clomoll]

The flip side of that coin is just as valid: Being a visitor in a foreign land does not excuse violating its laws and customs.

Agreed. I wonder why people insist on going to places like this.

[Aaron757]

Not according to the Telegraph. They got one month in jail.

She claims they kissed on the cheek.

[formobilagsw]

While this is true, that doesn't mean people living in civilized countries can't raise a stink about it. Do we really want to trod down the path of making this excuse for any atrocity a country might commit within its own borders?

We don't do that already?

Humans tend to be rational unless conditioned otherwise. Racism and xenophobia are irrational.

I can't believe you claim that Nazism is the natural state for humans. That's repugnant.

[yovbQVpD]

People subconciusly prefer people that look like them and dislike foreigners and need extensive training to offset this if they want to be neutral.

I reject that. The people in question have been 'conditioned' to fear anything different. Fear based on prejudice is not natural or rational. Basic ecologic, DNA or diversity based survival instinct dictates that compatible foreigners are a treasure. According to your reasoning, inbreeding or a reduction of genetic diversity is a natural status quo. Your logic is in opposition to all known natural science. If people, or the biosphere for that matter, were naturally inclined to monoculture... life itself would not exist.

You are fundamentally wrong; break your chains.

[uniopaypamp]

Yeah, Heraclitus is right on this. Human beings instinctually fear "others" not of their particular "clan." This is why ethnic tribalism formed the basis of human society for so long and cultural melting pots are a relatively new phenomenon. The entire history of human civilization is a progression to less and less culturally biased and insular societies.

According to your reasoning, inbreeding or a reduction of genetic diversity is a natural status quo. Your logic is in opposition to all known natural science. Er, no. Virtually all animal species exhibit even more xenophobia, even to members of the same species, than humans do. It has been documented that "clans" of chimps engage in genocidal warfare with each other. Most animals are viciously territorial in the wild.
