JAMES MULLAN: The city of Dubai remains an island of opportunity for many in the Arab world, and troubles elsewhere only strengthen perceived virtues.

Thoughtful article. Nevertheless, if current trending continues Islamic parties are going to take over the arab mideast. Europe is becoming Eurabia. In 10 to 20 years, the alliance of crazed Moslems and leftists will have the remaining good people in…

Sucking up to Abdullah, Sabria? Fact is it is your beloved USA and Britain who conspired to make war against Islam (yes, Islam, not Iraq and Afghanistan). So, in one sense I agree: Christianity is not the real enemy in this context, it is Washington and London. But the result of all those Saudi students attending those Christian institutions you mentioned is a newly-acquired compromise on their identities as Arabs and Muslims. It is time your government wakes up to the fact that they have sold Islam’s holy land to their masters in Washington.
For me and millions of Muslims, we say: Hasbunallahu wa ni’amal wakeel.
