I wouldn’t trust UAE on this. They are a part of the whole.

Well, I believe CAIR definitely is an apologist for beheadings and rape in name of the just and merciful Allah..

UAE is not perfect, but they are the best ally that US has in the Muslim world. They are very westernized - one of their pilots who did air strikes against ISIS is a woman. They have offered to allow Israel to use their air space against Iran. Their leaders have been the most adamant voices against Islamic extremism, which has got them on a hit list by al Qaeda.

And remember that Dubai is only 10% Emiratis. The rest are expats and tourists. It’s the only Muslim country I know of with Christian churches. They even have Christmas decorations and Christmas music in all the malls. Not your typical Muslim country.

I have been coming to Dubai and Abu Dhabi for 10 years, and they are the exception, not the rule. Oman is the other Middle East country that the US can rely upon.

If Islam is ever to reform itself, it has to start somewhere.
