I am from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and up until now, the government hasn’t put any pressure upon the people, I think this is mainly because there are hardly any TRUE emeriti’s left in the country, or because the country wants to keep a low profile, and pass it out easy. Also, the UAE has a rich source of oil, but Saudi Arabia, It’s major surrounding country has much more. One of the reasons why there aren’t any more emeriti’s in the country is because there are so many outsider or tourists, that many of the emeriti’s have migrated further west. I am also Muslim, it is said, that when there is a major war, where one has to save it’s religion, men have to fight, and woman have to help, for woman it is more voluntary, also, if you are sick, or traveling the risk is taken off your shoulder. I for one wouldn’t fight for my country because I don’t believe in violence, and I think it is better to talk it out, but if it were my religion, I would at least do what I can to save my religion. Another reason I wouldn’t do this would be because UAE has quite a formal, complicated yet straight forward military, to be in the military, you would have to be formal, complicated, yet straight forward, and for me that would be almost impossible.
