"If you like Dubai so much, maybe you should go live there. Of course, if you're not a Muslim, you'll have to abandon your religion. If you don't like the King (sheik, emir, whatever) you won't be able to say so. But, if clean and modern is what you crave, go for it."

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and forfeit all credibility on the matter. There are several Christian churches that operate freely in the UAE. The UAE is a federation of seven emirates. It doesn't have a king, or an emir. It has a president. It is a federal republic with its own constitution.

Honestly, the gross ignorance demonstrated on these threads by the people screaming the loudest really is a discredit to FreeRepublic.

"There are several Christian churches that operate freely in the UAE."

"Operate freely" that is shill talk if ever I heard it. Any synagoges there? Can a Jewish person even go there?
