“The term “immigrant” is itself too generic to define the reality of those who are working today to transform the face of the Gulf. “

Slaves to the Arabs. Doing work that rich oil baron Muslims won’t do or don’t know how to do. Bigot? No. Realist? Yes.

".....The capital is Abu Dhabi. Almost all of the citizens belong to the official religion death cult, Islam"

There, fixed.

The UAE is becoming the aerospace hub of the middle east. Every major player in aviation is there or going there. That said, having lots of Filipina maids isn’t likely to create lots of Filipina citizens of the country. They won’t be able to have some Sharia law government there though or oppress the Christians. They will lose too much in business, which they have gained by being moderate and open. Hope their wealth will make other Muslims be more open.

1. Yes - the arab countries import huge amount of laborers from Christian countries

2. They have no hope for citizenship and will be deported in a blink of the eye if they do anything un-islamic. They will all be sent home one day.

3. How much of the local population is converting? That would be the real measure

“The true status of these workers, even of those who have been living in the Emirates for a number of years, is that of “expatriates,” persons whose presence in the country is strictly connected to the possession of a valid work contract, but who can never become residents or buy houses or property. Their destiny is bound to the decisions of their employers, who often hold their passports hostage out of fear that they will flee or become insubordinate.”

The Christians are coming back and might soon be the majority? A pretty misleading headline, as if they’re actually participants with rights in an oil rich Arab nation. As several have pointed out, their status is little better than indentured servants with a contract that’s difficult to enforce.

The way Muslims treat their hired help tells us a great deal about them.

So there are more and more Christians in the UAE?

People are just so excitable - someone is sure to lose their head over this!

How nice it would be if I had to use a dictionary to show my nephew the definition of the word ‘Islam’.

Jesus Christ cannot be defeated. Through His divine Power, Our Lady of Fatima is going to crush the head of the serpent of Islamic heresy and reunite its believers with the Church.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Amazing. In a land where the Bible and preaching the Bible is banned, and a land governed by a religion that decrees death to those who convert from Islam, the Word is spreading.

[Lorianne]

Interesting, thanks for posting this.

The UAE is one of the most open nations over there, and while officially Muslim it has not been constricted by the fundamentalists... and as such its one of the most successful and prosperous nations over there, in terms of everyday people.

Christianity always beats Islam over time, which is why Islam when given the opportunity will attempt to kill it. The message of Mohammed is pale when placed beside that of Christ.
