Even with All Their Oil Money Muslim countries are Full of Crap
Abu Dhabi has completed a pipeline that will cut across much of the UAE’s barren desert to transport massive quantities of crude from its oilfields straight to the Indian Ocean

You can take the Arab out of his tent, but you can't take the tent out of the Arab. It doesn't sound as good as the American version, but we find a truth there. No matter how much oil money is poured into Arab countries, they still poop in the desert as Arabs have done for centuries.
In my article Oil Rich Muslims Are Science Poor, my readers learn that the oil monarchies of the Gulf spend about 0.2% of their gross domestic product on science while tiny, teensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy little Israel with no oil revenues spends 25 times as much. That is to say, Muslims simply don't know how to spend their money wisely.
Here is a perfect example of oil-rich Muslim stupidity: Dubai has built more than 188 skyscrapers [Wikipedia] in the past few decades for a population that has increased 5-fold in the same time period without spending a single Dirham (about 4 Dirhams = 1 dollar) to upgrade their sewer system (1).
While neighboring Abu Dhabi has no problem building a 400-km pipeline to transport oil across the desert, see photo above, it seems that Dubai has to transport its poop with a massive convoy of poop trucks:

I suppose I should end this article by noting that infidels in America and Europe also have to put up with Muslim crap.

Drewbot, What “Big Data” can Learn from Dubai’s Skyscrapers & Sewage System
Dubai’s record-setting skyline emerged over the last decades, fueled by rising fuel prices. Wikipedia lists 195 skyscrapers built or under construction in the once quiet city, whose population has more than quintupled in the last 30 years.
But all is not rosy: while the skyline was funded the sewage system was ignored. In 2008, The Wall Street Journal wrote, “By one estimate, some $300 billion in new projects are going up in Dubai in the next 10 years… But Dubai’s single, 30-year-old sewage-treatment plant isn’t keeping up. Sewage output here is rising by 25% a year.” The 160-floor Burj Khalifa alone was designed to house 25,000 people, nearly a 10th of Dubai’s total population when their sewage treatment plant was built.
Without adequate infrastructure, Dubai employed an army of tanker trucks to empty septic tanks throughout the city. The WSJ detailed the situation, though I’ve omitted the more squeamish bits:
Every day, hundreds of tanker trucks line up for almost two miles at the three approaches to the Dubai treatment plant to dump sewage. The wait can be as long as 10 hours, drivers say.In order to avoid the wait and processing fees, some truckers have been discharging loads onto streets of desolate areas in the city, Dubai officials say, adding that they have fined several violators.
Only when these problems manifested were funds allocated for a new sewage plant.
