An excellent essay. Only one point to note. The reference to “discomfort for the Shi’a minority community” of Bahrain is incorrect. The Shia are not a minority of indigenous Bahrainis. Wikipedia gives the breakdown as 62% Shia, 38% Sunni. Sunni oppression of the Shia majority is a major cause of the political unrest on the island.
Really interesting and encouraging, well done.
One of our families recently spent over 8 years in Abu Dhabi. I am impressed with the high level of religious and social tolerance prevails, as initiated by Sheikh Zayed in the early 1970s. I hope that a similar study to Grace Dunn’s could be encouraged about the UAE.
Tolerance provides the path to social and economic success.
