UPDATED - Dubai Official Warns Of "Clash of Civilizations" Over Trump


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A top security official in Dubai warned Friday of a "clash of civilizations" if U.S. Republican candidate Donald Trump becomes president, the latest sign of disquiet across the Middle East over the businessman's comments about Muslims. 
Trump refused to back away from his recent statement that "Islam hates the West" during a Republican debate Thursday night in Miami, which came after he called in December for a ban on Muslims entering the United States. 
Trump said he wouldn't stoop to being "politically correct" by avoiding such statements. Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, the deputy chairman of police and general security in Dubai, took to Twitter to respond. 
Referencing political scientist Samuel P. Huntington's theory that future wars would be fought between cultures, Tamim warned that a Trump win could see him face Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. 
"If Trump beats Hillary (Clinton), that means that the scenario of the clash of civilizations created by Samuel will come to light at the hands of the candidate and al-Baghdadi," Tamim wrote. 
Trump has for years looked to do business in the Middle East, particularly in the Gulf and the emirate of Dubai. Trump has lent his name to two high-profile Dubai golf course projects and an ongoing real estate development, and sought for years to expand his hotel chain into the region. 
Since his comments in December, a Mideast company, the Dubai-based Landmark Group, said it would pull all Trump home decor products at its 180 Lifestyle stores in the region as it "values and respects the sentiments of its customers." In Lebanon, 
Abdelsalam Shalash, a resident of the capital, Beirut, said Trump is trying to win by playing on people's fears. 
"He is using propaganda to convince people that our enemy is either the Muslims or the Mexicans, and it's rallying up a lot of people because people are afraid," Shalash said. "And fear is one of the easiest concepts to make use of."
A few things to consider here. 

1) Abdelsalem Shalash criticizes Trump for using "fear." Yet, that is exactly what he is doing to Trump. Trump did not say Islam is our enemy. He said a lot of Muslims hate us, and he believes it might have something to do with Islam, and we'd better stop immigration "until we figure out what is going on."

2) Abdelsalem Shalash is smart enough to know that Trump does not hate Muslims, and that he does not seek a "clash of civilizations." Trump has always done business with Muslims, and it is the Muslims who have put a stop to that, not Trump. Therefore, the problem Dubai has with Trump is not his alleged dislike of Muslims, but is, instead, Dubai's push for a Globalization that Trump clearly opposes. 

3) The article says that for years Trump has "for years looked to do business in the Middle East". In fact, as the article makes clear, for years Trump HAS done business in the Middle East. Now, having made the statements he has made, he has lost all of that business. That is a very brave stand for Trump to have taken. Yet, he is given no credit for it. Other candidates do everything they can to ingratiate themselves to those who will donate money to them, or pay them huge speaking fees. Trump, on the other hand, says what is on his mind, even if it costs him business.

UPDATE - 




Dubai threatened by Donald Trump as POTUS? Clash of Civilizations? Seems an extreme reaction, unless one considers some of Dubai's interests here in the USA…

Now, what would those interests be?

Williams was removed from his post Jan. 8.
The one-star admiral implied that he didn’t start out with the intention of looking at sexual images during two short stays off the coast for the multinational exercise Dawn Blitz 2015, with Japan, and a large-scale certification exercise.

Williams was on the amphibious assault ship Boxer for six days between Aug. 31 and Sept. 5 and watched four hours of porn during that time. Later, in December, he was on the ship for five days and indulged in five hours of porn.

It is a fact that the Nazis reactions to Winston Churchill's speeches in the Commons all thru the 1930's was call him a war monger over and over and over.

The comparison here, I want to be clear is for Dubai to think carefully.

I am not calling Trump a Churchill.

Realistic OBSERVATIONS cannot bring on Huntington. We did not attack the symbol of Islam (Kaaba). We did not spend a generation vilifying arabs. We did not preach a religion who malignant forces killed muslims for BEING muslims, nor do we believe their lives and goods are to be seized if the do not convert, and their existence taxed for ...PROTECTION.

We simply insist that we make up our own laws as we see fit without reference to any other authority, and depend on our good sense and faith to establish right. We recognize no religion as superseding that.

We simply now have a POTENTIAL leader who has accurately observed that there seems to be a problem.

And for that he has been called a man who will monger a war of civilizations.

WE ALREADY ARE IN ONE.

Makes me want to vote for Trump.

Title says it all and it's really not necessary to read on. So Dubai says Trump will cause a clash of civilizations that are in the middle of a clash and Dubai knows full well we are even though we don't know it.
So in effect they are telling American patriots to vote for Trump.
