I'm fairly certain the UAE is Islamic in name only. They will be lucky if the jihadists don't blow it up.

I have heard of Dubai before but I don't really know that much about it. From what I heard, not all Arab countries are backward like they seem to be, and the fact is that there is some hope in Middle East in places like Dubai. So what made Dubai different from all other places?

They have PILES of money and unlike Saudi Arabia, they don't have any major Islamic shrines, so I guess the Islamofascists leave them alone.

Dubai has trade agreements with Israel.

Oops.
