M=I give you three different sources, one of which is the CIA, and that's your conclusion. I'll ask the Iranian guy at work on Sunday, and his answer means a lot more to me than your link. We shall see, I just find it near impossible to believe that 1 in 6 people here are Iranian. The normal split we get is 15%-20% each for UAE nationals, Philippinoes, Indians, Pakistanis 5% Western 15% other Arab+African Your numbers are the first I've heard of with a big Iranian %, so I'll ask the Iranian, and then we'll see. If we could bet, I would wager you a lot he'll answer closer to 1% than to 17%, and I would give you 10 to 1 he will say less than 25%. But maybe he hasn't read your link..... Three links. I gave you three links........CIA: Arabs + Iranians=23%; second link: Iranians=25% of Dubai; third link: Iranians=17% of the UAE population. Hell, Iran is 50 miles from UAE....these numbers should not come as a big surprise.
