Keep in mind Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates.
"A businesswoman who accused three men of gang rape has been arrested in Dubai and faces trial on charges of adultery.
Touria Tiouli, 39, from Limoges, in France, has had her passport confiscated and cannot leave Dubai after being charged under the emirate's Sharia law.
...Mme Tiouli was on a business trip last October when, she alleges, she was raped by three men who offered her a lift home from a nightclub.
She reported the attack immediately to the Dubai police, who after investigating her claim arrested her rather than those she accused.
One of the men admitted to having "consensual sex" with Mme Tiouli, which made her, in the eyes of Dubai's judiciary, guilty of both adultery and making a false rape accusation. She could face up to 18 months in prison. None of the men has been charged.
...The government has taken her passport and refused to let her leave the country until her trial, which has not yet been scheduled."
And the Western culture represents the Great Satan to them. Go figure.

I bet this stuff happens everywhere, and it probably does.
While it may not be 100% correct to be like "OMG the west is so immoral", it's also not right to then point out one instance of something like this happening in the east and be like OMG UR IMMORAL TOO NOOB!
It doesn't matter where you live, there will always be people who do these kinds of things no matter what the whole of society thinks.
