Via the Jersey Journal:

About 200 teamsters and longshoremen joined three U.S. senators at Port Newark to protest the sale of some American port operations to a state-owned company from the United Arab Emirates.

Most of these protesters live a few miles from the World Trade Center. Most probably watched as thousands of innocent people were crushed and burned by an Islamist-funded act of war, an act of war that was enabled and carried out by Islamists from the UAE. I guess they still remember that.

Maybe some know that the government of Dubai is still spreading a message of fascism and hate.

[U.S. senator Frank] Lautenberg said he would introduce legislation this week that would require the Department of Homeland Security to review changes of ownership of a terminal operator within a port of the United States for security problems.

"Don't let them tell you that it's just a transfer of title. Baloney," Lautenberg said. "We wouldn't transfer the title to the devil, and we're not going to transfer it to Dubai."

Yes, they still remember.

According to a recent poll, most Americans are "strongly opposed" to the Bush administration's agreement with the Dubai Ports World.

Americans are strongly opposed to the Bush administration's agreement to allow a Dubai company to operate terminals at six American ports and are increasingly negative about the situation in Iraq, according to the latest CBS News poll.

Seventy percent, including 58 percent of Republicans, said DP World, controlled by the emir of Dubai, should not be allowed to operate the ports, while 21 percent supported the deal.

Meanwhile, Dubai Ports World participates in the Arab boycott against Israel,

Yes, of course the boycott is still in place and is still enforced," Muhammad Rashid a-Din, a staff member of the Dubai Customs Department's Office for the Boycott of Israel, told the Post in a telephone interview.

"If a product contained even some components that were made in Israel, and you wanted to import it to Dubai, it would be a problem," he said.

A-Din noted that while the head office for the anti-Israel boycott sits in Damascus, he and his fellow staff members are paid employees of the Dubai Customs Department, which is a division of the PCZC, the same Dubai government-owned entity that runs Dubai Ports World.

Moreover, the Post found that the website for Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone Area, which is also part of the PCZC, advises importers that they will need to comply with the terms of the boycott...

...In one instance, according to a Commerce Department press release, a New York-based exporter agreed to pay a fine for having "failed to report in a timely manner its receipts of requests from Dubai" to provide certification that its products had not been made in Israel.

Israel is a major source for innovative products, including medical technologies that have improved the lives of people worldwide. In the Middle East, they're the only local source of innovation. The UAE, like other members of the Arab League, won't allow these products into their country. I guess the UAE isn't as modern as they pretend to be.

..and, of course, there's also the fact that president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan funds the Abu Dhabi-based Zayed Center for Coordination and Follow-Up, a prominent think tank of the Arab League. According to Rachel Fish:

The Zayed Center, described on its Web site "as the fulfillment of the vision of Sheikh Zayed," promotes Holocaust denial, anti-American conspiracy theories and hate speech in its lectures, symposiums and publications.

In related news, our allies in the Arab League are continuing their campaign to restrict free speech in non-Islamic nations.

AMMAN - Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa on Monday considered the Prophet Mohammed’s cartoons as part of a “battle against Islam” rather than a symptom of conflict among civilizations, and urged Arab parliamentarians to put pressure on the United Nations to come up with a "strict" solution to this problem.

Just part of an organized campaign to spread apartheid Sharia worldwide...
