I think [this post about homosexuality](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14289446&postcount=1) was one of my favorites. Vahid Tarzan wasn’t around long here but his star of ignorance and conspiracy theories burned bright while he was. ---

A man can’t be convicted of rape unless he confesses or the rape is witnessed by four other men. If a woman is raped and accuses her rapist, all he has to do is deny the rape and he’ll be found non guilty. And then, based on her “confession” that she had sex with the man, she’ll be convicted of extramarital sex with the additional charge of perjury for her “false” accusation. There have been several reports of foreign women accusing local men of rape and being themselves imprisoned and the thread was based on a recent incident. > > Aceplace’s contribution:And when it’s pointed out to him that being raped is not committing a crime, he doesn’t back down. He insists the women must have done something illegal to cause the rapes. Dubai has bars all over the place. And they’re legal. Our friend, [Wiki, has this to say about Sharia law there](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai): > [@](#): > > Non-Muslims do not appear before the Sharia Court. ---

Two years ago might be stretching “…of the day” a little beyond its breaking point. ---
