Is that really illegal? - Giving the Finger

This post begins a new but potentially fruitful segment chronicling things that are illegal in the Middle East that seem, well, excessive.

Today let us recount the lesson learned by Darren O'Mulane, an Australian nurse working in Dubai. On his way home one day, Darren gave the middle finger to an Emirati driver. He spent the next 24 days in jail while is wife was deported. Their car, apartment and pets were seized. After he was released, Darren was deported as well and he and his wife are starting a new life in a slightly more tolerant Australia.
