"There are few people of Dubai that go to Iran, see their lack of freedom, and want to replicate it in Dubai." They're there Elroy. How often do you go to the Mosque? There are Muslims in EVERY Arab country that believe their countries should be strict theocracies.

I believe the Muslims when they say they want to take over the world. I don't see much effort involved with a religious following ruining the UAE.

I propose if the kooks in Iran expand their influence, your oasis in Dubai would disappear would it not? Depends on which direction they expand, of course. There's a load of water in between Iran and Dubai. The more likely expansion, however, would be the oasis in Dubai expanding its influence over Iran. Dubai is a nice, pleasant place to live. The Iranians like it. Many Iranians come to Dubai, enjoy it for a vacation or for years of work, and go back home and can push Iran in the direction of Dubai. There are few people of Dubai that go to Iran, see their lack of freedom, and want to replicate it in Dubai. I think its only a matter of time before the Iranians become freer. The gov't is putting a lot of emphasis on education, and typically, the more educated people become the more they push to be free.
