Dubai-Bye: US University’s Dubai Campus a Failure, Closes
Less than two years ago, Michigan State University announced it was opening up a Dubai campus. The aim was to propagandize students in favor of the Muslim world, particularly Dubai, which abides by the Arab boycott of Israel. Today, the school announced the campus was a big failure, and it is closing. So sad, too bad.
Dubai: The Center of Scientific Research??? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The school developed a special website for MSU Dubai with the advertising slogan, “Dream Big.” More like, Dream Dhimmi. Not enough students enrolled, and multi-million pledges from Dubai’s oil-rich sheikhs never came through. Shocker. Muslims never break their promises, right? Students even turned away from the enticement of lower tuition rates for Dubai study than for study in Michigan by out-of-state students. And even hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships just for study at MSU Dubai didn’t bring students in, either. It’s ironic that a Michigan taxpayer-funded school would waste so much money to send business and economic activity not only out-of-state, but to a Muslim nation that hosts and welcomes HAMAS terrorist arms dealers and enables 9/11 terrorist attacks, but turns away Jews.
And the failure of the school says even more than just the failure of the fraudulent marketing of anti-Semitic, intolerant Dubai as a Western paradise. The school was heavily and shamelessly promoted on WJR, Rush Limbaugh’s Detroit affiliate by Lebanese pan-Muslim morning talk show host, Paul W. Smith, the Hezbollah apologist who got a free trip to Dubai and openly pimped the Dubai MSU campus. Clearly, he’s past his prime and no-one cares what he has to say. None of the aging parents and grandparents in WJR’s largely senior citizen demographic who listen to Smith’s extremely dull show were too convinced or prevailed upon their kids and grandkids to spend the semester at the site of 9/11 hijackers’ money laundering and fake IDs. Stick a fork in it, Paul W. You’re done.
And stick a fork in it, MSU Dubai. Most American students don’t want to waste valuable months of their lives in greater intolerant Arabia . . . for now. Dubai may be fashionable to the Brad Pitts and George Clooneys of the world. But most MSU students said no thanks. They’re not into faux “understanding.” The marketplace decided.
Dubai-bye. Er . . . Aleikum Salaam, bitches.

So many thoughts come to mind.
Where are all those “not with my tax dollars” people who are always complaining about U.S. grant aid to Israel? Apparently Michigan school resources being diverted to Dubai doesn’t bother them.
What about the Arabs? You’d think the attraction of an American style education would attract them to MSU/Dubai. Apparently going to an American University in Dubai defeats their real purpose of going to an American University. I mean… you can’t agitate on campus in an Arab League State and not be subjected to the typical police state response. Besides, who would Arabs agitate against in Dubai? I think that video of Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren’s speech at UC Irvine tells us exactly why Arabs don’t want to go to an American University in an Arab League State.
It also begs the question: Doesn’t Dubai have ANY half-way decent institutions of higher education? Most US universities have no need to establish schools in Israel because they have cooperative programs with Israeli Universities such that college credits easily transfer.
And let’s face it! If you’re a man and want to go away to school, what is the attraction of Dubai’s female population? Same if you’re a woman; even worse! A woman who finds a man in Dubai puts her life and limb in his hands with no state protection whatsoever. Young American adults may be dumbed down from politicized liberal public schools, but for some strange reason, they’re learning the important stuff anyway.
