A video shot in Dubai drew the reaction of the local people. In the footage, a woman wearing a burqa is seen having dinner with her partner, while the woman filming can be heard laughing and mocking the burqa-clad woman in the background. Although the exact content of the conversation is not clear, it caused outrage among viewers. Social media users criticized the woman who filmed the video, tagging the Dubai Police and demanding strict measures against those involved. It is illegal to record local women in the United Arab Emirates without their permission, and it can have serious consequences. A woman who shared the video on the X platform wrote: "In Dubai, a European non-Muslim woman films a tourist from the Gulf and mocks her religion. Where is the Dubai Police? Why isn't she being arrested and referred to the prosecutor? Don't they have laws to protect the dignity and privacy of Gulf tourists, preventing unauthorized photography and defamation? Where are human rights? Where is the respect for religious rituals?" Shortly after the video began to spread online, the Dubai Police responded in Arabic: "May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. We inform you that the matter has been forwarded to the relevant authorities. Thank you for reaching out."
