The main doctrinal current of Islam in the UAE is wahhabism

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

Let's also not forget that UAE are ISIS' main financer, and the country where 9/11 terrorists came from.

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...
