UAE-government owned oper..

So would they operate under UAE Law? What about being able to bring in a bible into the UAE? Isn't importing a bible outlawed there?

You know, that is really a silly question. The companies involved are American registered companies, such as the Baltimore Mercantile Exchange. Now, BME has its corporate offices in the State of Maryland, and its physical plant is in the State of Maryland. Since this is not a foreign embassy or a man-'o-war docked at a U.S. port, U.S. and Maryland law are the controlling law. This means that no banning Bibles, any more than at any other workplace in Maryland.

Why is Dubai Ports buying the P&O operation? Because they can make money doing so, and it's a good business deal for the company.
