Can you give me a cite on that, because that would be in stark contrast to all other Muslim nations in that area. For one thing the Christian number seems low in respect to the "other". Jews only make up about 3% of US pop.

And, while you are at it, if you can give numbers for the other emirates that make up the UAE.

As my mom used to tell me, it's not knowing, it's knowing where to find out.

Sure,
While I am not defending all of UAE let me clear one misconception up. The UAE openly discriminates against Israel and holders of Israel passports. They do not recognize them. As far as I know, they do not discriminate against "Jewish" people with passports from other countries such as the US.

So when they say "no Jews" are allowed they are talking about Israeli citizens. At least that is my understanding.

A lot of people were also surprised that there are 30,000 Jews living in Iran. I know I was.

Here is the source for my info.
