Dubai — where public kissing is a taboo, but prostitution flourishes

Dubai's Islamic austerity is nothing but a sham. Couples who publicly kiss are jailed, however the state turns a blind eye to 30,000 imported prostitutes.

According to The Times, a Brit who visited the state claimed that the second floor of a glitzy five-star hotel was filled with prostitutes. And the men were all potential punters.

While the man talked to Jenny, from Minsk in Belarus, she offered him "everything, what you like, all night" for the equivalent of about 500 pounds. The man, however, turned down the offer.

This was in the city centre of Dubai, the Gulf emirate where western women got a month in prison for a peck on the cheek.
