If you think we are going to defeat radical Islam withour help from other Muslims, then you are naive. I will reiterate so even you can understand it--the Emir of Dubai is a friend of the U.S. and, while a dedicated Muslim, he is no Wahabbist fanatic. There are already thousands of Muslims working in sensitive areas all over this country. It seems to me you are being selective about your outrage. Why not just ban all Muslims from the United States. Of course, that would only confirm what the radical Muslims have been saying.
This is no different than hiring Muslims as baggage handlers at U.S. airports. If you are against the one you ought, at least, to be consistent and be against the other (I have a feeling you would be in favor of "shipping all the Moosies out!" Right?).

At times it might be tactically wise to ally with some muslims to defeat other muslims. But, as we found out when we allied with one socialist dictator, Stalin, to defeat another socialist dictator, Hitler, the alliance is destined to be short lived and our "allies", who do not share our values, will become our enemies. What makes the Emir of Dubai our ally? He is no more an ally than the Saudi Princes. For the time being they see more radical muslims as a threat to their power, and might assist us in fighting against them so long as it is their interest to do so. Their allegiances, however, are to retaining their power and to their religion. Their religion is against almost every value Americans hold dear; freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association, equality of women and supremacy of the people. They have always spread their religious ideas by violence. These people will never be are true allies. I would not "ship all the Moosies out", but would halt immigration from any muslim country.
