They are pursuing opportunities for young Muslims in business which will decrease the number of young people drawn to terror for lack of job opportunity.
A good thing...hope it continues with them and other Muslim countries looking on.

I have to wonder just how many young muslims they are actually hiring.
In any event, based on my limited experience in the region, I'd be shocked to find many Gulf Arabs involved in the day-to-day operations of the business.

Muslims when they get rich dont become terrorists. They start funding terror. The Dubai Sheikhs are as notorious as their Saudi cousins.
