NYT: Disney to Build a Magic Kingdom Theme Park in the Middle East

I must say I am more than shocked by this. I believe homosexuality is outlawed in Saudi Arabia. Just doesn't seem like a very Disney like place to be.
This is why it's important for a progressive company like Disney to go into these regions. Also, the park will be built in the UAE (United Arab Emirates), not Saudi Arabia.
Islam as a whole shuns homosexuality. The country/region does not matter. The difference is, most of the ME will put you to death over it, where that does not happen elsewhere (with the exception of a few cases that have hit MSM).
 
A hijab for all princess, for Minnie and Daisy, halal food for visitors, guest cannot show up in shorts and short sleeves, especially women.
I hope you're joking! I have been to Dubai (which is in the same country as Abu Dhabi), female tourists wear short dresses, tube tops, crop tops, mini skirts, etc. You can see for yourself on social media.

You only need to cover up at religious places.

Homosexuals will not be able to show their "pride" like they do elsewhere.
Not yet! But being exposed to us will hopefully speed up this process.
 
Might as well ship all of the old non-PC Pirates of the Caribbean audio-animatronics over there so the "Rascals and Scoundrels" can go back to their female abusing, human trafficking ways.
 

You do not know much about Islam. Trying reading the Quran. It is a real eye-opener.

FYI - the very word Islam means submission. It is not a religion, it is an ideology.
the Bible is also an eye opener when you take it word for word. I would be careful about the very broad brush you are painting all of Islam with... unless you do the same with all religions... and assume that everyone follows everything to the word.

They are not bringing their ideology to us, we're bringing ours to them. Also, I think you're confused the UAE with other areas. In a country that is predominantly Islam, they allow the entire city of Dubai to be decked out in Christmas decorations. If that's not progress, I don't know what is.
 
Such a lack of education. I am not even going to entertain this anymore.
Oh please....You make an ignorant statement about all of Islam and then want to run away and throw out an insult on your way out the door. I would be very happy to put my education against yours any day.

Islam is no more a monolith than Christianity. To pretend otherwise is displaying an astonishing amount of bias and bigotry.

I would be glad to continue this discussion in an appropriate forum like the controversial board where it belongs.
