i'm traveling to dubai with my uncle because he's an architect and needs some help. my faith is christian- protestant and my knowledge is that the persian gulf is sunni islam.

now i respect islam a lot. in fact islam mentions jesus favorably in the quran and think highly of him. so will the persian gulf be okay if they know i'm christian? we won't only be there in the UAE but also Qatar
