عندي تحدي بسيط:
خلونا نشوف “شكل المرأة الإماراتية”.

حطوا صورة إماراتية من اختياركم: أم، طالبة، وزيرة.. برلمانية.. دبلوماسية.. مهندسة، إعلامية، عسكرية، طبيبة، رائدة أعمال، رياضية…
وبعد ما نجمع الصور، يمكن نفهم شيئاً واضحاً جداً: المرأة الإماراتية ما لها “شكل واحد”.
لها وجوه كثيرة، قصص كثيرة، وملامح تعكس مجتمعاً كاملاً.🇦🇪

خلوا هذا الثريد يعرّف الناس بالإماراتيات فعلاً.

They’re so desperate, now they’re trying to form a dumb deity narrative around MBZ
😂😂😂 this is embarrassing

[Dr Andreas Krieg @andreas_krieg]

I am writing a chapter on Emirati strategic culture and the role of leadership

Is there more analysis on the narrative of MbZ as a form of deity that I see expressed by Emirati accounts?

The Ministry of Defense announced that UAE air defenses detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward the UAE. The first fell outside the UAE’s territorial waters, while the second fell within the UAE’s territorial waters.

The Ministry of Defense reaffirmed that the UAE’s armed forces remain fully prepared and ready to respond to any threats and will firmly confront any attempts to undermine the country’s security, safeguarding its sovereignty, security, stability, national interests, and resources.

@971AlSaadi Hamza must be living under a rock or in a cave, funny how he missed the fact how much aid flew into Gaza thanks to 🇦🇪, how many field hospital it set up in Gaza, how many Palestinian kids flew out to 🇦🇪 to be treated.

But hey the Emiratis don’t feel concerned.

A well known Muslim Brotherhood campaign against Emiratis means only one thing

We hit a nerve. A big one.

We know what you are and we know what you do

[Amjad Taha أمجد طه @amjadt25]

Muslim Brotherhood networks banned in the UAE but operating in Britain don’t always come with beards, banners, or mosque signs anymore.

They come with polished logos, prestigious city names, education, charity, and investment.

Your children might study, train, or work with them without knowing what sits behind the branding.

Terrorism learned PR. Don’t fall for the rebrand.

Here’s a recent list of Muslim Brotherhood-linked entities in the UK: the UAE bans them; Britain allows them to operate.

1. Cambridge Education and Training Center Ltd.

2. IMA6INE Ltd.

3. Wembley Tree Ltd.

4. Waslaforall

5. Future Graduates Ltd.

6. Yas for Investment and Real Estate

7. Holdco UK Properties Limited

8. Nafel Capital

The UAE banned them. Britain still hosts them.

You’re welcome.

A Muslim Brotherhood tactic:

Lie to achieve the goals , its permissible

the ends justify the means

[Hamza Isa Jennings 🕋 @HamzaIsa]

I'm reminded of a few business meetings I had with Emiratis in Dubai a couple of years ago. At the time, my suspicions about the attitudes of some UAE Muslims were growing, as my interactions with them raised all kinds of red flags.

I was in the UAE on a consulting basis, helping a Muslim charity with campaigns targeting Western, particularly British Muslims. The two Emiratis I was working with simply could not understand the concern that British and Western Muslims had for Gaza, or indeed for Muslims anywhere in the world who were suffering and in need of help.

They literally asked me, “Why are you so concerned?”

I was flabbergasted by the question. But they doubled down.

They told me that Emiratis generally view British Muslims as extremists and laugh at what they see as their idiocy. I let them continue.

They said that British Muslims, in particular, were the strangest of all Muslims because, online, they seemed to only talk about the Ummah, its suffering and plight, and politics. To them, this was a very strange thing for Muslims to be doing.

So I asked them directly: “Do you not feel any concern or worry for Muslims around the world?”

“No,” they replied, seemingly perplexed that I would even ask the question.

I then asked, “Do you feel any connection to the Ummah at all?”

Again, they said no, with a bemused expression, as if the answer were completely obvious. Duh, why would we?

At that point, I made a mental note to tell the head of the charity that these individuals should be removed from their positions. I couldn't understand how a Muslim charity could have people working within it who appeared to have so little concern for Muslims, their suffering or their plight.

As these empty vessels continued talking in the meeting, I found myself thinking that what the UAE has done to its Muslim population bears some similarities to what Atatürk's government did to Turkish society.

The comparison is not 100%, of course. The UAE is not as openly or violently opposed to Islam as the Turkish government was under Atatürk. Instead, the UAE appears to use Islam as a kind of varnish, maintaining an outward Islamic identity while implementing policies that systematically restrict and depoliticise religious life.

Islamic education and religious guidance have been heavily centralised. There are restrictions on mosques and religious activities, and public Islamic expression is tightly controlled. Mosque sermons are regulated, Quran lessons require official approval, and unlicensed religious or educational activities, whether online or conducted privately, is prohibited.

There is also extensive monitoring of mosques and their attendees wit spies everywhere. Religious activity outside officially sanctioned channels can attract scrutiny, and even seemingly harmless religious reminders or advice after salah can be restricted unless properly authorised.

I am therefore not surprised that such an environment and system can produce Muslims who become increasingly detached, distant and unconcerned about the wider Ummah. What is clear to me is that this is not simply an unintended consequence, but part of a broader effort to discourage any idea of Muslim unity, political engagement, traditional Islamic learning and grassroots activism.

It's actually worse: the Muslims in the UAE are now actively attacking other Muslims around the world for engaging in precisely these things.

In the UAE, activities that many Muslims elsewhere would regard as ordinary aspects of community religious life, such as fundraising at mosques, organising religious events, conducting seminars, holding Quran memorisation sessions or distributing food, can face strict government regulation, and any unauthorised activity can carry serious consequences. The authorities justify these restrictions in the name of combating “extremism.”

The UAE government's treatment of Islamic religious and political expression needs to be called out. I also believe that UAE-based anti-Muslim influencers who actively attack Muslims elsewhere should be challenged, criticised, mocked and held accountable through every lawful means available.

My work experience in the UAE taught me a valuable lesson:

Do not assume that, simply because you are travelling in a “Muslim land”, everyone who wears Islamic clothing, carries a Muslim name or presents themselves as a Muslim is necessarily your friend.

That doesn't mean assuming the worst about everyone. Rather, assume the best while remaining sober and discerning. We need to develop a level of spiritual insight and discernment,’ Firasah,’ around these people and pay attention to their words, actions and loyalties.

For now, the UAE government should be seen as a hostile actor, an enemy of the Muslims and held at arm's length.

The UAE’s position has always been clear

Religion must never become a political weapon.

Whether it is the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Hamas or other extremist movements, exploiting faith to build political power, justify violence or divide societies ultimately harms both the state and religion itself.

Protecting society from extremism also means protecting Islam from those who misuse its name. 🇦🇪
