How about you drop the cultural attack and instead focus on the source of the money. The reason why he is not a reasonable source is not what he wears but what his job is associated with.

Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, CBE (Arabic: سلطان أحمد الجابر; born August 31, 1973) is an Emirati politician who is the minister of industry and advanced technology of the United Arab Emirates,[2] head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC),[3] and chairman of Masdar.

Nah fuck their culture. Cultures aren't worthy of respect by default.

Human rights organisations consider the UAE substandard on human rights, citing reports of government critics being imprisoned and tortured, families harassed by the state security apparatus, and cases of forced disappearances.[22][23] Individual rights such as the freedoms of assembly, association, the press, expression, and religion are also severely repressed.[24]
