Isnt it the sin city of middle east?? Seriously these are placed where extremist sucide bombers should actually target.
C'mon dude thats certainly not a solution and its haraam in our religion.
But i guess u do hav a point
What these stupid sheiks try to prove there? Another Las Vagus .
These are the people who finance these so called sucide bombers with generous handouts to win approval for their thrones..and the poor people are being hit day and night..dont we have a right to wish them the same evil??
The Sheikhs believe " If you build, they will come."
Yes, there was a time when the arab Sheikhs thought that way. As a result, Dubai became a free port and became a center for trades. Considering its location, Dubai still has the potentiality to become the hub for trade and business.
Global financial meltdown has melted also the Dubai financial institutions. But, it was probably more due to superficial development of that city state with borrowed money. The Sheikhs built a balloon instead of economy. The balloon got many pores in its system prematuredly first because of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and then because of global meltdown.
But, when the situation changes from worse to better, Dubai may come back. Arabs need their own safe haven to protect their money, which is not that safe in the hands of western countries. In fact, this was the main impetus for building a trade center in the desert of Dubai.
This is a place where exporters from developed econmies can export their goods, and importers from three Continents can come, purchase in bulk and ship to their homelands. So, Dubai will certainly come back.
Is it just me or does this 'story' reek of satire/ fiction?
Edit: Thought so. It was written in December 2009 in a humour/ satire website called The Eggplant Post. Click on this Link
Thanks EyelessinGaza for bringing some sanity back.
People, please verify and verify again before you start with the arab and emirati bashing.
When you had a quote saying the makhtoum was away on a ski trip, that should have been a red herring right there.
