Spurred by a recent boom in sales in the region, Bloomberg is expanding its Dubai office into a regional hub, a move that will as much as quadruple its local staff over the next year.

The company has had a presence in Dubai for a decade.

The company has also been developing an Islamic finance portal...

“Particularly since the meltdown of the western capitalist system, there has been an increasingly large focus on the virtues of Islamic finance,” he said.

It has news bureaus throughout the GCC, including in Bahrain and Kuwait, and is in the process of opening offices in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. A news bureau was also planned for Abu Dhabi, he said.

Per wikipedia Michael Bloomberg owns 85% of Bloomberg L.P.

To those asking: why is the Mayor is one of the most outspoken supporters of the Ground Zero Mosque?

He's been wrapping himself in "freedom of religion" - but it also seems that his company brags about its "increasingly large focus" on new muslim business interests?

Should the mayor recuse himself from the discussion or at least be called to account for his conflict of interest?

[While the article is from 2008, I haven't seen its content raises in connection with Bloomberg's support of the Ground Zero Mosque. His company's interests in the Muslim world remain topical.]

We can hope Bloomdumb is in the mosque when the unions do to what I really hope they will do.

And I’ll actually give donations to a union then.

Bloomberg is the prime example of someone who will sell out his country if it benefits his pocket book.

It is good to see the Mayor working to help with the employment problem by expanding. Oops, nevermind, wrong country.

Murdoch’s News Corp has a big hub in the UAE too...tax and time zone-wise, it’s a logical media hub.

You all likely knew about this, but “if” I did, I long ago forgot.

No wonder the pint-size coward trumpets the wonders of the damn mosque.

This is who Bloomberg is selling out for:

“The imam behind a proposed mosque near Ground Zero is a prominent member of a group that helped sponsor the pro-Palestinian activists who clashed violently with Israeli commandos at sea this week.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a key figure in Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace Organization, according to its Website.”

In all honesty, that green and white on the Empire State Building was not in honor of any Muslims. My guess is that it was for the New York Jets back in January when they won a couple of NFL football playoff games. Just so happens the Jets play in New Jersey, so the Empire State Building owners are just as clueless as Bloomberg.
