Last April, the United Arab Emirates started cracking down on Islamists operating there, and eventually arrested 60 of them. Shortly after that, Dhai Khalfan, Dubai’s Police chief, started publicly warning of an “international plot” to overthrow the governments of Gulf states, saying the region needs to be prepared to encounter any threat from Islamist dissidents as well as Syria and Iran”. Is the Muslim Brotherhood now ready to expand its dominance to oil-rich Arab nations after taking control of Egypt, the Arab country with the largest population?
In August — in one of his many statements about the matter — Khalfan said, “There is an international plot against Gulf states in particular and Arab countries in general.” Khalfan was clear about the reason he thought the Muslim Brotherhood wanted to control Gulf states: Wealth. “This is preplanned to take over our fortunes…the bigger our sovereign wealth funds and the more money we put in the banks of Western countries, the bigger the plot to take over our countries.”
Khalfan also posted on his Twitter account that, “since the Muslim Brotherhood has ‘become a state,’ anyone advocating its cause is considered a foreign agent.”
Until last April, the existence of Islamist opposition groups in rich nations such as the UAE had not been an issue of attention to either the global media or even the UAE government itself; Khalfan admits he too — as Dubai’s top cop — did not realize there were so many Muslim Brotherhood members in the Gulf states.
Chickens coming home to roost. What will Iran think of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Of course they’re going to try & take over. They need money and oil provides that as well as power. They are also building the caliphate, they won’t stop until they have conquered every country unless they & islam are destroyed. It’s one or the other.
It looks like it’s goodbye then to the millionaire tourist destination, Dubai: a city built on sand (literally and metaphorically) if ever there was one.
This stunning metropolis is a bustling Babylon, built by slaves to pander to Western needs and to make the oil Sheikhs who own it even richer. It has impressed many people in its short life, but was never anything but a mirage, a technological masterpiece concealing a barbaric underbelly.
It was designed to fool the greedy and the stupid, and is in reality one of the most fragile cities in the World, with no natural resources, including the most precious of all – water.
This architectural monstrosity is dependent entirely on money from outside. If the UAE goes to the Brotherhood then Dubai is doomed.Goodbye Dubai, you’re end is near.
Oh, great city in the desert, from Muslim shit you came and to Muslim shit you shall return!
