Would you apply the same logic to say the doctrinal differences between say Welfare-State Librelism and Communism (or Nazism)? Or this is just a case of “all ideologies that aren’t mine look alike to me”?
No, I think those divergences are essentially different, being about something that at least exists.
How is the UAE fundamentalist?
The main doctrinal current of Islam in the UAE is wahhabism, which, quoting Wikipedia, is described as “orthodox”, “ultraconservative”, “austere”,”fundamentalist”,”puritanical”. Let’s also not forget that UAE are ISIS’ main financer, and the country where 9/11 terrorists came from.
By a remarckable co-incidence Jim has recently posted a blog post on this very subject.
I kind of see where that post comes from. Although I think its commenters have seen too much in it, it’s harder to remain level-headed when the threat is coming closer and closer (literally, in the case of my country).

Are you sure you don’t mean Saudi Arabia? The UAE is not a Wahhabi country.

This is balderdash. The 9/11 terrorists came overwhelmingly from Saudi Arabia. ISIS gets its funding mostly from the territory it controls and its foreign backers are mostly in Saudi and Qatar.

Do you know anything about the UAE?
Yes, I was mistaken about the two. Saudi Arabia was the country I was talking all along...
