Too true, look at that nutter Breivik (sp) in Norway. Nobody seemed to have a clue.

Re: Terror attacks in the UAE
Considering the number who own property in London, and others who don't but go there (at least ostensibly) for R&R, the potential for a hit is huge. Factor in also Bin Laden's nationality and that of the recent Kuwait bomber, and I don't think it would be unreasonable to subject all Saudi visitors to UK to go through the same shit, rudeness, inefficiency and chaos that any of us has to put up with entering their country. I'm sure we could achieve it. Any of them who were willing to put up with that must have a very strong motive for visiting.

The risk of home-grown saudi and UAE trouble makers is high. Look at the nationalities of those who did 911.

The Saudis used to think there was no possibility of attacks in KSA. I would think that there is a fair chance something will happen in the Emirates.

Re: Terror attacks in the UAE
UAE population is more homogeneous than the KSA one, but you hear on and off about discontent in more rural parts of the Emirates where there isn't so much money sloshing around..

Re: Terror attacks in the UAE
It seems the more affluent countries around here don't have much trouble from the terrorists, fortunately. Coincidence or £££££££ ?
Anyone heard of any shit going off in KSA today??

Re: Terror attacks in the UAE
Britons are not the majority in their own capitol and several major towns today, and that will increase not decrease. Anti-white racism is a bigger problem than anti-non white racism, ask any UK copper or look it up.
The UK is every bit as dangerous for anyone in a major town or city as a mall in Abu Dhabi, a beach in Tunisia or a mosque in Kuwait,
I agree with you though that expats in the UAE live in a bubble that will burst if there is a major attack in the UAE.

So what's the answer, or is it too late? Personally I don't think it's too late, but the constraining factor is not time but political will.

Re: Terror attacks in the UAE
I am reminded of the guy who foresaw WW2 and decided to build a hideyhole away from it all and sit out the war there. He built a little place for himself on an island in an atoll called Guadalcanal.
Look at a world map and the position of the Emirates !
