Gulf Bloggers Sentenced To Prison
When I first scanned this headline, I had to do a double take: Why would anyone sentence a Golf Blogger to prison? Then I re-read it. Still doesn’t make a lot of sense in our Liberal American tradition of freedom of speech.
I am glad, however, that my hobby isn’t likely to send me to the slammer.
The incident has nothing to do with American free speech. It took place in the United Arab Emirates.
I understand that entirely. It’s just a comment about my reading too fast.
Even so, the entire thing still doesn’t make any sense when viewed through our liberal western lens.
