Is it okay to travel to Dubai being gay?
I have some close friends who are a gay and are want to go to Dubai. From what they have told me, they are very respectful of the muslim way of leaving. We have been talking about the differences between western and middle eastern societies and they both agree that Muslims have their right to decide how the life is going to be in their places, what you can do and what you can't do. They don't drink, they don't bother about dressing according to the Islamic rules for men... The thing is they're gay... but they say they are not going to engage in any public shown of affection at all, not even hugs, nothing, in fact, they are always very discreet.
Anyway, they are a little bit scared because all the rumours about Dubai being a dangerous destination for gay people. Someone even told them that the police would make them an interrogation and might check their rooms every day to see if there is any kind of proof that they're gay. They won't tell anyone they're are gay and they don't want to do 'anything gay' (they're not interested in finding partners, they just want to be there for the tourists stuff). They just want to do a little bit of sightseeing in Dubai and stay at the beaches and resorts.
Is it safe?
What can they do and what shouldn't they do?
Any extra recommendations for them?
admin answers:
As long as you don't show any sort of public displays of affection and avoid sexual relations during your visit, you'll face absolutely no trouble at all, even if anyone knows you're gay. Just as long as you "keep it in your pants", everything's gonna be just fine.

is it fine to be a christian but comfortable in dubai?
i'm traveling to dubai with my uncle because he's an architect and needs some help. my faith is christian- protestant and my knowledge is that the persian gulf is sunni islam.
now i respect islam a lot. in fact islam mentions jesus favorably in the quran and think highly of him. so will the persian gulf be okay if they know i'm christian? we won't only be there in the UAE but also Qatar
admin answers:
UAE and Qatar are both very tolerant to westerners. You have nothing to worry about.
Be careful Dubai has many bars and very cheap alcohol, but you can be jailed if you get caught drunk outside the bar, in public places.
And if you are to visit these place in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, avoid eating and drinking in PUBLIC places during daylight hours. Its ok to eat inside cafes, restaurants and hotels. Only for the month of Ramadan ie:

Why is China a major tourist attraction for the Hamas terrorists?
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, the Hamas terrorist who was murdered last year in Dubai seems to have traveled to China on numerous occasions with his fellows. In fact he was to take another trip to China before he was murdered in his hotel room in Dubai.
Why do these Hamas terrorists prefer China over several other tourist attractions?
