"I'd say this guy's arguments are just about as unsubstantiated as those purported by Malkin. I've worked and done business in Dubai. They are demonstrably unreliable. They have three different legal systems. Contract law means nothing. All it takes is a 'Will of Allah' and you can flush your contract down the toilet...and if some Sheik wants something, its obviously the 'Will of Allah.' Oh, and I love the 'largely permits religious freedom' part. The whole time I was there I never saw a church nor could I find a Bible in their book stores." Folks should defer to your experience...
And imo, yep, this slop is nothing but propaganda. The "religious" part is rich for a country which recognized the 'Taliban' as a entity, but NOT Israel.
(Gee, I wonder how much UAE sheiks paid this author?)
"Folks should defer to your experience..."
Actually, as this thread has evolved it appears his experience does not mesh with reality. In fact, some of his statements have proven to be factually incorrect.
