It seems like you are looking for an excuse and reasoning to tell you its OK for you to attend bars, clubs and drink alcohol. If you wanna do it, then do it. But dont call yourself a Muslim.
No, I am sorry that was not the intent of my post. If you believe so, then you may stop point fingers at me, and stop responding in this thread. Your input and "insight" is no longer necessary.

It doesnt matter. They dont live in Dubai. As mentioned by someone else, the local population in Dubai is miniscule to the extent that if they did commit tantrums over this issue, it wont be heard. Just like the tantrums of Pakistani villagers located in the middle of nowhere will not be heard, when they hear that some American in a five star hotel in Karachi is drinking a glass of wine with their dinner.
Locals do not say anything, because they are not there. "Attitude towards it when they drive by a fancy 5 star hotel?" They dont say ooooooooh people are drinking alcohol in there! NO! They say "ooooohhhhhhh i'm too poor to even think about walking in there, for a nice Chicken Biryani". Alcohol isnt given that much importance.

Locals are in charge over there, not foreigners. And too poor? Have you been to Dubai?
