Dubai is a mixed blessing really. Jolly horsy petrolhead royal family, a business community free to do all sorts of carp. I am told that the Something-or-other al Nusra group supposedly associated with the opposition in tortured Syria, a Sunni extremist gang said to be trying to demolish the ancient and beautiful tomb of Zeinab (sister of Hussein, son of the murdered fourth Caliph Ali) in Damascus and a holy shrine to Shi'as (as well as being genuine world heritage), is financed and backed from Dubai. This if true is criminal behaviour, despicable.
Sorry, first version contains incorrect details, a bit slapdash. Cd mods remove it please?
