What the UAE Does, But US & Israel Don’t Have the Guts to

Hmmm...where are the protests in the streets of Dearbornistan, outrage over this apartheid policy by haters of Shi’ite Muslims? Where are all the vocal Muslim groups, angered that a country is rounding up Shi’ite Muslims and expelling them? Where are the Muslims in my neighborhood–normally protesting endlessly about this Western grievance against Muslims or that one, and how Islamophobia caused their every paper cut via some sort of conspiracy? Well, if it’s not the Jews or the Westerners deporting Muslims, then I guess it doesn’t count. That’s because the united Sunni monarchies of United Arab Emirates are doing to Shi’ite Muslims what the world would never allow America or Israel to do; and what, frankly, America and Israel don’t have the guts to do. They don’t want Iran’s loyal subjects causing trouble. We let Iran’s loyal subjects from Lebanon run the show, as CIA Directors and ICE and FBI officials pander to them hysterically.

The United Arab Emirates has expelled dozens of long-term Lebanese Shiite residents from the country over their presumed affiliation with Hezbollah, a representative said on Wednesday.

“The common factor among all those expelled in the past three months is that they are all Shiites and as such are part of a community that supports the resistance [DS: a common euphemism for/reference to Hezbollah],” Hassan Alayan, who heads a committee representing them, told AFP...

Alayan, 50, said he was recently ordered to leave Sharjah, one of the seven city states that make up the mainly Sunni Muslim UAE, where he had been living for 22 years.

He said UAE officials gave no explanation for their action apart from saying that the orders had been issued from high up.

“I didn’t even get a chance to pack my bags or bring anything back,” said the father of four who worked as a journalist.

In Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital, officials had no immediate comment on the matter.

A foreign ministry official in Beirut said the UAE ambassador had been summoned several times over the affair but had so far given no explanation.

Alayan said the expulsions began in the aftermath of the June 7 legislative election in Lebanon that saw a Saudi- and Western-backed coalition beat a Hezbollah-led alliance. . . .

Hussein Masood, a 39-year-old businessman who had lived in the UAE since the age of four, said he still does not understand what prompted his expulsion in July.

“I was returning from vacation and was held at the airport and told that I could not enter the country for security reasons,” Masood said. “I wept at the time because my whole life is in the UAE.

“I have three companies there, five million dollars worth of contracts and 85 mainly Sunni employees who rely on me,” he added. “I can’t believe that this is all happening because I am Shiite.”

So sad, too bad.

While we don’t have the guts to deport the tens of thousands of Hezbollah supporters that make up the fifth column of Dearbornistan–and we continue to let that population grow through further immigration, I respect that the UAE does have the guts. They don’t want to lose what they have.

And the only thing we don’t want to lose is “Dancing With The Stars.” Our national security be damned.

Yup, the very confederation–UAE–which helped the 9/11 terrorists is more concerned about Hezbollah terrorism than the country that was the victim of the 9/11 terrorists AND the Hezbollah terrorists. It would be hilarious, if it wasn’t so depressing.

Oh, and again, where’s the international outrage, the U.N. investigation, President Obama’s excoriation, and marches of tens of thousands of Shi’ite Muslims on the streets of Dearborn over this?

Some apartheids are more kosher, er...“halal,” than others.

When Muslims have internecine civil wars with other Muslims, it’s like Confucius’ tree falling in the forest with no-one there to see it. Like I said, if Jews or Christians didn’t do it, it didn’t happen.

And don’t forget: they can’t get along with each other and are deporting each other. And yet Israel and the West are supposed to make peace with them. They won’t even tolerate each other, and yet we must tolerate them and their intolerance.
