US embassy cable - 04ABUDHABI4186

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

PREVIOUS 
 
Post is not aware of any incidents of anti-Semitism 
taking place in the UAE from July 1, 2003, until the 
present.  In the 2003 Human Rights Report and in the 
2004 International Religious Freedom Report we 
reported on the controversy surrounding the closure of 
the Zayed Center for Coordination and Follow-up 
(ZCCF), an Abu Dhabi-based think tank.  In August 
2003, the UAEG closed the ZCCF for sponsoring anti- 
Jewish activities, stating that it "starkly 
contradicted the principles of interfaith tolerance" 
advocated by the president.  Critics worldwide cited 
multiple examples of anti-Jewish literature, website 
material, and lectures sponsored by the ZCCF, and 
began an international publicity campaign to expose 
the center's anti-Jewish bias.  The center strongly 
refuted the charges.  The organization has not 
reopened, and similar organizations do not exist in 
the UAE.
