Yes, exactly. And I may add that discrimination is exactly what this deal represents. UAE is not Hamas, nor is it particularly interested (as rank and file citizens of a progressive, modern country) in Jihad against the West, as some elements of the Middle East are.

" UAE is not Hamas, nor is it particularly interested (as rank and file citizens of a progressive, modern country)"

You have got to be kidding me. "progressive, modern country"?

Is that why they don't recognize Israel? Is that why they recognized the Taliban as the legitimate Gov't of Afghanistan? Is that why they fund Islamists and Hamas? Is that why wmd's have gone through those OH SO SECURE PORTS of theirs? Give me a break.

I didn't think that's what it was in the beginning, but as the rants and justifications kept up after being presented with facts right in front of their very face, there's not much left to figure, is there?
