It's funny how you pointed out several facts, about life in the UAE, which are true btw, but spoke nothing about the one I called you out on. I never disputed that life in the UAE is way better than elsewhere in the Middle East.
You said sharia in the UAE is pretty much a hoax. It isn't. Simple as that. That's what I called you out on.
And yes, there are lots of churches in the UAE, since Xtianity is an Abrahamic religion of course. But, proselytizing for any religion other than Islam is punishable by law. And apostasy from Islam is punishable by death. Also, you won't find any jewish synagogues (because of the Israel issue) or hindu temples( polytheist & idol worshippers) or buddhist monasteries there. Except for the one hindu cum sikh temple that has existed in Dubai since before the UAE was formed or oil was discovered there. It was built by Indian merchants who traded with the Arabs there then, with the area being so backward then that they used to use Indian currency for trade at the time.
