Hackfest Security: Dubai Hackinthebox Convention Anyone?

[Alex Dean]

You are confusing Muslim with Arab.  Most of the world's Muslims are  
not Arabs.  You also need to be aware that not all Arab countries are  
identical.  Dubai (UAE) has a far more open society than Saudi Arabia,  
for instance.

This thread started with information about a tech conference (relevant  
to the list), and has degenerated into poorly-informed stereotypes  
(completely irrelevant, and disappointing to read).

Between this and all the 'why I hate Microsoft', 'my ISP is the  
worst', and 'the Googles are dumb' threads lately, this list is being  
a real drag to read lately.
