U trying to start a riot as well Chris? Lol.....cheeky chap. Will answer ur questions cos I have nothing better to do. Have 1 crappy homework assignment now.....cheap and easy though!

1: who actually lives in the uae? errrrrr.........I do!

2: who has lived there? errrrrrr.........I have for the past 22.5 yrs

3: whos moving there? errrrrr............born here.....so never moved in. lol

4: who hates it and why? also did u leave for home or other shores?
dont like it at all......mainly cos of the people i guess......very strange mentality, 80% of them anyway. Its like I am a tourist in my own 'home'. Hate that feeling sometimes. Dunno if I wud want to live here forever though. Will have to get back to u on that one!

5: whos a xenophobic local who hates incomers? Well Arabian boy was one! banished to the desert now. HAHAHAHA..........incomers help to dilute the population and most in coming people are skilled + highly educated. So I say its always good for the country to have that. And no, I am no local, although I know as much as there is to know about this desert nation.

6:and who was it that took a collection of very small desert villages and turned them into major international city states with thriving economies.
Having been here when the first traffic lights were put up, I wud expect u 2 know these things. U prolly even studied it at school under social studies. remember that? lol.........to answer ur q, it was HH. Sheikh Rashid (later ruler of Dubai) and HH, Sheikh Zayed that pulled the 6 emirates together. The 7th, Ras Al Khaimah, joined the federation 1 yr later. Qatar, Bahrain and Oman were offered membership to the union, but they didnt like the idea of having such a large country. Look whos laughing now! hahahahahahahahaha

Hope that helps fuel the bon-fire u wanted Chris!
