But then Iasked myself some questions and wondered if there could be more to the story? Why would the UAE and Dubai who admittedly depend on foreign investment and Western tourism which they have worked so hard to attract do this? Some less than reputable groups would gleam that "see...

China does not ...

I am saying it in this conte...

It would seem that Islam plays a back seat role to culture. In particular this is the most obvious in the Pakistani and Fijian communities.
