Imam Mohammad Tawhidi

They won't accept you because there is a serious vetting system.

And if they figure out that you somehow got through, and by the way, there were some famous people who built a career simply because they were deported out of the UAE during the Arab Spring, the so-called Arab Spring.

The policy is beautiful.

The minute they figure out they made a mistake because they let someone in who then went online and made a comment or supported a certain narrative that is against national security.

Immediately, knock, knock.

Where's your bags?

Pack up.

DXP, Dubai Airport, straight out of the country.

There is no negotiation when it comes to safety.

Why?

Because it's a security decision.

So American immigration policy needs to be looked at through a security lens, not a political lens.

That's what we're seeing in America.

Everything with regards to the border has been a political question, not a security question.

In the Middle East,

The borders are looked at through the lens of security.

That is why there are zero terrorist extremists in Abu Dhabi.

That is why there is no one blowing himself up in Riyadh, in Jeddah.

That's why.

It's very important that we speak in this manner, though it may be foreign to the American listener, but the understanding of national security in the Middle East is very different.
