Emirati Rights

In the UAE, Christians do not have the same rights as Muslims.

As youtube user webpundit puts it "The UAE is a backwards aristocracy."

You speak very smoothly, but for all of that, you still cannot fool me.

Why would I want churches were there are no Christians?

I've heard that from Muslims many times before. There are 1-2 million Christians in Saudi Arabia, and you and I both know that without sharia law, there would be more. MUCH more.

Sharia law is implicated just as much to stop Christianity as it is for anything else.

You fear the spread of Christianity. So does your government.
