Abu Dhabi within the UAE is an Islamic country, yes?
Abu Dhabi is at the seat of influence among members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), yes?
I had a rude culture shock this morning when I turned up for breakfast at the Beach Rotana hotel. The first food counter I walked past was labelled P O R K. It was situated alongside other food counters serving an array of international and regional guests.
A culture shock because, even back home, the most liberally progressive and the most modern of Kuala Lumpur hotels don't do what Abu Dhabi hotels are doing. (My local friends told me Le Meridien Riyadh is no different in handling pork station at its F&B outlets. Open and non-discriminatory, just prominent labelling.)
So be warned, conservative Muslim out there.
2. Muslim is not a race, how you manage to linked it with racial discrimination?
