What will happen to the country in 20 years time if the population consists of 20 million expats and 3 million Emiratis?
20 million expats and 3 million Emiratis?

not forever....

there are Emiratis all over the world studying to be members fo the workforce in all specialisations.

There are no Emarati dentists now maybe, but in ten years' time, why not?

Same for petroleum engineers, and finance executives, and media analysts, and architects, and everythign else.

The process of Emiratisation is well underway.

I want Beardy Man , to have a read of this and let me know what he thinks as Id be very interested in his opinion...

I recently attended an annual training session.

During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:

'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel please?'

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, the Imam replied, 'Non-believers! '

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. .....All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and one that looked a little sheephish

He quieryly replied, 'Yes.'

I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Imam was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have huge problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me and my family!

I said to the Imam, let me ask you a question....

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, ....or ......Jesus who tells us to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame...

I am sorry, I can not believe that an imam who has it halfway together would give answers like that...even I, and I am far from being educated in Islam, can give you better answers than that....either it was a particularly stupid imam, or......it is a nice little anecdote.
