The Middle East will have nothing to bring to the table. No oil, no industry, no agriculture, no human resource expertise. And then US, and with it Europe, will summarily stop giving a shit.


The UAE foresaw this long ago..right now their economy depends on tourism and trade as they wean off oil
I may be wrong..but then I could be right

Slightly inaccurate. They have done better than the rest of UAE by diversifying. By Wikipedia, 85% of UAE exports is oil. Remember the vast infrastructure and housing projects? Many have collapsed, the rest have slowed ..and you cannot discount how much of that was financed by oil
Quote:

Although UAE has the most diversified economy in the GCC, the UAE's economy remains extremely reliant on oil. With the exception of Dubai, most of the UAE is dependent on oil revenues. Petroleum and natural gas continue to play a central role in the economy, especially in Abu Dhabi. More than 85% of the UAE's economy was based on the oil exports in 2009.

Because despite the fact that those people seek intercession from Imams, mutilate their bodies etc they did not change a single word in the Qur'an...

All differences in Islam are external to the contents of the Qur'an..

It actually started when the Almighty gave Abraham (pbuh) authority to invade Canaan!

That particular slaughter was real...

actually I think if God wants people killed... HE KILLS THEM HIMSELF! hizi story za niliambiwa by God (Who will not answer your confirmation queries because He is invisible and Silent... except to the guy who received the command) to kill you and your people is just a way to have round up people around one cause and that cause is to kill other people!!

But differences anyway!
Questions of interpretation/understanding.
It matters pretty little where the differences are hinged. They are the root of multiple mutants of Mohamedans. Emotions of disenchantment from one sect to another tell a story of themselves too.
