UAE urges war against terrorism
2005-12-27
Yup, that oughta do it.
ABU DHABI — The National Consultative Council (NCC) has called for declaration of an all-out war against terrorism and depriving any person who pledges allegiance to foreign (extremist) groups the right of citizenship and the honour of belonging to the UAE. The council proclaimed that it regarded links to such groups as high treason against the country.

The calls were spelled out at the second meeting of the 16th legislative chapter of the NCC, which was held here yesterday.

#3  Depends on what 'foreign (extremist) groups' are defined as. Gotta read the fine print.

#1  *slaps forehead*

Why didn't we think of that?

"High Treason" = Loss of UAE citizenship? Yeah?, then what? No more subsidized milk 'n cookies?

Foreign groups are extremist - okaaay - wotta 'bout domestic asshats? They're okie-fine, as long as they do the allegiance thingy? No cognitive dissonance happenin' here?

Hey, he said the words, check it off and move on to other, weightier, matters, such as traffic congestion.

Arabs. *heavy sigh* Somehow, I don't think they quite grasp some of the finer points. Perhaps it lost something in the translation. Then again, perhaps not. WYSIWYG.
