The photo is of Dubai and represents the direction of Islam. There are other such cities where the force of money is producing a host of changes and most importantly better lives. Jakarta, Riyadh, Kuwait City, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur , represent the nations where the force of money has changed Islam for hundreds of millions of Islamic people.
