A top security official in Dubai warned Friday of a "clash of civilizations" if U.S. Republican candidate Donald Trump becomes president, the latest sign of disquiet across the Middle East over the businessman's comments about Muslims.
Trump refused to back away from his recent statement that "Islam hates the West" during a Republican debate Thursday night in Miami, which comes after he called in December for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S.
Trump said he wouldn't stoop to being "politically correct" by avoiding such statements.
Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, the deputy chairman of police and general security in Dubai, took to Twitter to respond. Referencing political scientist Samuel P. Huntington's theory that future wars would be fought between cultures, Tamim warned that a Trump win could see him face Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

So if Trump speaks the truth about there being a clash of civilizations, there will be an ensuing clash of civilizations.
Unfortunately, there’s only one civilization in this contest.
If all Muslims hate us then why does Trump have a hotel in Dubai? If they all hate us then instead of doing business with them shouldn’t we be hating them in return?
Islam: “The West better stop hating us or we will kill them”
Hey Dubai...if you don’t hate the West, how about stopping islam’s war on Western civilization. I don’t see an anchor on your ass.
Trump is not shy about saying America has a big stick and will be willing to use it if anyone else makes it necessary - refreshing.
And the muslims are clashing with it , as they have since islam emerged
Yes, their “civilization” clashed with ours on 9/11 (and plenty of times before & since); Trump isn’t causing a clash of civilizations; his popularity is in response to it.
Every day, I like Trump more. He annoys all the right people.
As opposed to what?
At our throats or at our knees.. DT will put them back on their knees, as would Cruz. 8 years of being untouchable are over, Achmed.
This war is 1400 years old how’s it news today?
Trump didn't say that.
He said that a large number hate us.
Do you deny the fact that a large number of muslims hate us?
By its very nature islam clashes with civilization. Hell, its wholly incompatible with civilization.
A safe place for western visitors that have business. Women don’t get arrested there for working out in a gym suit that shows a little calf.
Hey,boys,why don’t you get back to building underutilized hotels and office buildings with your slave labor?
Would that be the same “clash of civilizations” that has been going on since the 7th century?
What are they going to do, fly planes into our buildings and behead us ?
