OK guys, there are 2.5 million people in the UAE. Despite being overwhelmingly Arab, they are actually not all terrorists. It would be both disgusting and terribly damaging to our current image war in the Middle East to disrupt this deal solely because the buyers are Arabs.

Are you forgetting about 9-11? How many hijackers were from the UAE?

2.

2/2,500,000 = 0.00008%.

I am begging you Bobman. For your own sanity. Please do some research on the United Arab Emirates. This is about much more than 2 terrorists. You blindly trust this president, even though he has continuously refused to acknowledge the existence of Congress. Please research this. You may learn something.

BTW, if there truly is nothing to be concerned about, and the UAE truly is an unwavering ally in the war on terror, they will not be offended by the deal being held up for a bit.
