He's got to be kidding! Mr President, I want you to explain to me how YOU can NOT hold a Middle eastern company, owned by an islamic government, to a different standard!

Secular government. The government in UAE is SECULAR, not Islamic.

See post #88. These are some of the people mentioned in charge of their "secular government/society". If they are not ruling under radical Islam, why are they all so ticked off over the Muhammed cartoons?

The government is a monarchy, I would not describe any monarchy as "secular".

The government and ruling family in UAE is 100% islamic. They're not an islamist government but they are islamic. The fact that they recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan should be reason enough to put the lie to the statements that they're the most liberal and progressive muslim gov't in the world.
