There is no Jewish community as such in the Emirates because "tolerance" for other religious in Islam is not what we understand the term to mean.Geniushttp://declineofgenius.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-79955230823052547672010-10-15T03:34:17.036-05:002010-10-15T03:34:17.036-05:00The idea that Muslims are intoplerant of all other...The idea that Muslims are intoplerant of all other Religions and would subjugate them is a bit of a misconcepotion. Historiclaly Synagouges and Churches have both been built in Muslim controled Nations, IE, the ottoman Empire. The UAE follows this more Traditional course, as does Jordon, which has a rather signifigant Orthodox Christian preasence, and does indeed have a few Synagouges.<br /><br /><br />Not all Muslims follow a course of Religious discrimination.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-48664357568043990842010-10-14T14:34:24.272-05:002010-10-14T14:34:24.272-05:00If they will allow a Hindu temple I don't know...If they will allow a Hindu temple I don't know why a synagogue would be forbidden. But then I have no idea why an observant Jew would want to live or work in the UAE in the first place. By the same token I don't know why many observant Muslims want to live and work in some of the places they do either.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-26562125799401908312010-10-14T14:23:24.424-05:002010-10-14T14:23:24.424-05:00Islam is the official state religion but there is ...<em> Islam is the official state religion but there is tolerance of other religions</em><br /><br />Are there any synagogues in the UAE?
