The best line (from someone who has probably never been to the UAE) is the opening quote:
"On the one hand, they hate America. On the other hand they love America to the bone," said Michael Izady, an expert on Middle East culture.What an overgeneralization of the Middle East.
On the opposite side on the same topic is THIS.

I always worry about this practice, Sky News do it far too much: 'an expert on Middle East culture'.
What the hell is that? I always assume that the person has insufficient credentials (Chair of Culture at Al Ain University, Head of the Anglo-Arab Cultural Conference) and so we just get given that generic. And I hate it!
