They should have also pressed for a ban on Dubai / UAE as a venue for any international sporting event, and perhaps banning all players from the country from participating in such events.

Should give her the whole 300k at least.

Honestly, why anybody continues to kowtow to the sheikhs of the UAE is beyond me. As long as my tax ‘investments’ don’t go there I’m neutral, but watch Hillary and 0, and follow the money ....

Why would any women's event even consider a muslim venue? Absolutely ridicules.

The UAE, like most Arab countries, has no diplomatic ties with Israel and routinely denies entry to its citizens. Tensions have been heightened after the three-week Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip, which killed 1,300 Palestinians and 14 Israelis. Although the conflict ended in January it caused deep anger around the Arab and Muslim worlds.
Isn't this racism? I'm shocked that there is racism in the UAE. Maybe Western civilization should forget all that PC crap and return the favor. What would Muslims say if Europe adopted a policy that no folks of Arabic decent could enter their country?

Because the UAE, like practically all Muslim “countries” have an official policy of discrimination against Jews in particular, and non-Muslims, in general.

Andy Roddick - the defending champion - withdrew from the Dubai tournament over the Peer visa refusal.

The entire venue should have been moved. Cowards; hypocrits; sharing/endorsing/participating in the hate. The message from Dubai is an outrage; the response from WTA an immoral cowardice.

hopefully this will silence all those people who like to talk trash about Andy - what a great American

Because the UAE, like practically all Muslim countries have an official policy of discrimination against Jews in particular, and non-Muslims, in general. They tolerate Jews, but not Israelis.

I said tolerate. That doesn’t mean they like them or treat them fairly. But they have a special level of hate for Israelis.

Yes. And I implied that they deserve to be ostracised because they practise discrimination.
