Censorship in Dubai


pacowc3 I am currently reading the books "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins, and "The end of Faith" by Sam Harris... Will I be prosecuted if I bring these books inside the country? Are they illegal? I wont be talking to anyone else about it but I personally will read them. Thanks
nismo
you can bring any book you want
even salman rushdie satanic verses arniegang incorrect............ I bet the book entitled "A Gay Life and Bareback Seen from the Rear in Pictures" would be banned :lol: :lol: :lol: sage & onion
This statement is incorrect. dbxsoul i'm busy reading the God Delusion as well, and an certain I saw it in Dubai Duty Free @ the airport nismo

Why do you offer such advice that could get a person in trouble, just doesn't make any sense at all :shock: :shock: :shock: nismo if you have proper passport , such as west european or north american , you can bring in any bookkyou want , if you have pathan passport , then you better watch yourself just dont bring in crack or heroine no matter who you are gtmash
You're half-correct, homie. You can bring ho's an tricks into the country, but you cannot bring certain books. Jamal niggga they be sellin playboy magazines up in emirates hills ... what the calim be on that ... you can bring wateva you want into the country aint no one gonna check nothin .. plus if incase like a stupid fuck you decide to flaunt your book allover the place an they do see it and if it somehow wont be allowed to be brought in you aint gonna be put in jail or something like that .. it will only be taken away from you .. youll be given a recipt for it and you can collect it before you leave the country... da way ppl talk about this place sometimes just makes me wonder if they is jst blind or tryin not to notice it .. dubai is changed in all ways it aint 10 years back no more .. even homo's be walkin the streets freely an claimin it .. bushra21 yeah i miss seeing the pretty looking gay guys...some are just so freaking ugly and horrible here... yuck :P JK on a seriuos note....you can bring whichever book you want into the country as long as you dont flaunt it about and bring attention to it. sage & onion Jamal & Bushra, What you should be saying is that you can try and hide whatever book you bring in to the country, because certain publications can get you into trouble. I think you are both aware as to what can happen here under the wrong circumstances so why do you blindly advise people to go against the Authorities. Censorship most certainly does still exist here, Etisalat Proxy is the prime example. The UAE Ministry of Information and Culture can be contacted if you wish to question this. MaaaD jamal is right .. worst case it will be just taken away from you. I know a lady who had her dildo taken away from her in the airport haha how embarrassing would that situation be: "umm maam sorry we cant let you take this in" (pun intended) :P arniegang Sage is correct but i would word it differently, Try and get it in, but be prepared to loose it RedLion
mein kampf is available at some bookstores here in dubai

As it should be. The Middle East has less of a problem with Hitler than the Jews. arniegang Only because he ran out of time, anyone not "white" was next on his hitlist and that included Arabia. Concord
Wow, you even missed that :roll: Sorry, gave you more credit than I should have. Re-read gtmash's post and think about it before you respond with your xenophobic post...
ps.. you blew it.
