Dubai - A British man has been sentenced to three months in prison by a court in the conservative United Arab Emirates for insulting Islam, local media reported on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old accountant drank six beers and six vodkas in the emirate of Dubai before climbing into a taxi and subjecting the Muslim Pakistani driver to a tirade of anti-Muslim insults, the 7Days newspaper reported.

"I can't remember what I did and I can't remember all the conversation with the driver," the man told the court, denying the charges over the December 2006 incident.

Foreigners in the booming emirate - one of seven making up the UAE - account for more than 80% of its estimated 1.2 million population.
