when is the state dept. going to wise us and call cair what it is, a terrorist organization?
answer: never
The UAE is the banking center of the Middle East.
Money flowed through UAE banks to the 9/11 hijackers. True statement, but pretty much useless. The money flowed through UAE banks into US banks in many cases. So are the US banks at fault?
The comment about the UAE being a launching point for 9/11 is pretty bad. The UAE is one of the largest if not the largest airline hub in the middle east. Therefore most of the 9/11 terrorists flying from the Middle East to the US had layovers in the UAE.
It's not that they were all from there. It's not that they had a meeting there. They had flight layovers there. That's makes it a launching point? Should we blame the UAE for allowing them to pass through when they already had US student visas granted by our government?
The UAE is one of two countries that recognized the Taliban. They rescinded that recognition immediately after 9/11.
The UAE has contributed to Palestinian Funds in the past, along with most of the Middle Eastern Governments, that have been used to fund terrorist activities. The same can unfortunately be said to a lesser extent about our own government.
The UAE does have a disturbing past, and while they seem to be doing much better, concern and vigilance is appropriate.
However, if you can't support your concerns with truth and integrity, you aren't worth listening to.
CAIR bump
Ping
Because people are finally getting themselves educated on the the subject.
I wonder how CAIR will spin the latest muslim atrocity? At least Murtha won't have to worry about a lobbying job when he get run out town. Maybe he's already on the payroll.
