I argue the point because it annoys me that the examples of nations they brought up as counter points to the chud meme are still really shit ones. The UAE is one of the states in the region with the least Muslims by comparison. It is also a corporate hell hole that only appears "advanced" because it's pumped full of western commercial business interests. Bringing them up as an example of a "progressive" Muslim country is backwards logic, when they're the least religious out of every other gulf state, so much so that they literally recognized the Zionist occupier as a valid country.
Yeah but he is not saying any of that. Western perception of advancement is detached from progressivism. Especially that of rabid racists like the one posting the meme. UAE superficially has a futuristic cityscape which would normally be considered technologically advanced regardless of the fact that it is built on the back of exploited migrant workers . Why would a white supremacist care about that?

I am not sure why you are hung up on this weird idea. Population is 75% muslim, their official religion is Islam. Let's just say they are a muslim country and move on.
The country is 70% South Asian expatriate workers though, many of which aren't Muslims. Also not every Arab is Muslim either.
Idk why yer arguing that point... the original chud meme is vague as hell, as to target both Arabs and Muslims...
