I’m glad this is happening. I hope the price of oil continues its collapse and these Jihadi jerks go broke. This will cripple the Jihad, without money they have no means of getting weapons or carrying out attacks
Dubai shopping spree stalls, retailers tighten belts
DUBAI, Nov 20 (Reuters) – Some big Dubai retailers, accustomed to giddy spending in the Gulf Arab tax-free haven, are grappling with a drop in sales as consumers worry about the impact of the global financial crisis on their wallets.
The Gulf has not been as heavily hit by the credit crisis as Europe and the United States, but the contagion has led to stock market routs, tight lending conditions and a range of government and central bank attempts to mitigate its impact.
In the United Arab Emirates, home to the glitzy financial hub of Dubai where shopping is virtually a national sport, a frisson of fear has seeped into consumers’ minds.
“Business is 20 percent down in the last week in retail,” Mohi-din Bin Hendi, president of Bin Hendi Enterprises, told Reuters.
This is great! Less money for the Jihad! They can always go back to selling Camels and Carpets, at least that’s harmless!
Charles will label me a Fascist for this post!
Eh, this was just a LEGAL and public way they made money.
They still have illegal charities, the drug trade, prostitution and the slave trade as good income.
and of course the taxes on the nonmuslim population.
Check out the latest feature over at LGF. The Great Leader has fixed it so when you click on someone’s icon, you now get a “suck-up” level along with other information. Er, well, Chuck calls it “karma”, but what it does is show the number of updings minus downdings. So now the geckos can compete directly with each other and see who’s the biggest ass kisser.
As many might expect, Sharmuta is currently in the lead with over 43,000 points.
The lizards are ecstatic over the new improvement.
Unfortunately you have to be logged in to see this, but maybe not all of you are banned. This is what sockpuppets are for.
LanceKates,
True Lance Kates. But when the legal aspect starts to take hits, the illegal aspects get hit as well.
I don’t know…. during the Great Depression, there was still alot of bootlegging.
I think the reduction of ANY sort of income to Iran is good, but I’m not going to celebrate much until anyone who hates Israel and the United States is out of power.
Charles will label me a Fascist for this post!
And a Nazi to boot! neener neener neener!

LanceKates,

Winston, its time for another thread in honor of Charles. It will be up in 2 minutes
See, Karma isn’t “how much do I suck up to everyone else and say what they want me to say and hate the right people?” . . .. Karma is “Do I do the right thing no matter what other people say?”
shouldn’t be a karma button there, it should be a “I Love Big Brother” button.
Savage,
I can’t wait for what you will say about Charles/Nancy!
it’s up Rodan. LOL!
I think it is great when jihadis waste there money on over priced things in Dubai or on Dubai itself.
