Sultan Al Qassemi, who was interviewed by Johann Hari for his widely read essay on Dubai, responds to Hari’s criticises in Time Out Dubai, and has an exchange with Johann Hari in the pages of the Independent.
The problem for Al Qassemi’s argument is that Hari has never defended or shied away from talking about those bad, dark, things about Britain, though I can understand why he feels the British media are out to get Dubai.
