BTW, what was the formal "state sponsored" reaction to the "muslim cartoon" issue?
I think that would speak volumes as to their true motives.
Well, there were no violent protest in the UAE I heard about. I am sure they are following the arab leauge tone on wanting apologies. That doesnt bother me really that they asked for it to think it wouldnt happen as to Islam I couldnt see happening. But sure some people were protesting but nothing violent so thats cool.
