I forgot to add the other point of falsehood in your #3 "explanation" of why UAE was a "Moderate Muslim" nation..

There WERE other predominately Muslim nations or nations with Muslim population over 40%, that DID send troops to fight on the same side as the U.S. and Coalition forces:

a. Azerbaijan, 150
b. Albania, 120
c. Bosnia & Herzegovina, 36
d. Kazakhstan, 27
Not a large showing, but in fact a showing..
UAE was NOT among them..

Semper Fi

....to defend Kuwait from the fall out of a U.S. invasion.

Sorry, it was only a backfill in Kuwait. Nonetheless, how many other Arab counties even contributed this much. Hell, France and Germany didn't contribute this much. They were still part of the ops related to the invasion.

In Abu Dhabi, Rumsfeld and Franks said they thanked the UAE leaders for their war help, which included sending troops to Kuwait and humanitarian aid to Iraq.

UAE TROOPS IN KUWAIT TO RETURN IN MAY "The UAE troops deployed in Kuwait as part of Dir Al Jazeerah (Peninsula Shield Forces) to defend Kuwait from the fall out of a U.S. invasion to Iraq will return home in the first week of May…" ~~GulfWire Link~~

Some will never be satisfied no matter how much the UAE does and you're apparently one of them. Sounds like a lot of ex-wives I've heard about. It's idiots like you that want to fight all 1.2 billion Muslims at one time. We'll all be in uniform for that one. Remember the famous Latin quote- "divide et impera" translated DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Thank God the president has heard of it before. For all of you other morons out there- learn it, live it.
