But if you like playing golf in the sunshine then it’s a cracking place to go. It’s also very safe, unless you piss off the wrong people. Or if you are one of the 'wrong' people.Yes, that is fair comment. If you choose your holiday destinations based on the human rights/liberal credentials of the country then it’s probably one to swerve.I met some Emirati Christians at a conference in the United States they are still my friends now. The people of Dubai are decent people who follow a way of life. The reality though in Dubai the main faith is Islam and the people can’t convert to become Christian. Still we have to respect the country and no degenerate that Islam is their chosen religion.To try and say they are wrong is offensive to muslims.And actually anyone who respects people whatever faith they are. So I think that comment is badly worded to say wrong is not right!

Hi FootyThe bit in bold is unclear and I can’t work out what you mean from the context, either.I would suggest, however, that the use of the word ‘degenerate’ next to religions is a bit of a whistle.

Any country that bans acts of homosexuality but allows golf is one to be avoided.
