I love the misconceptions by the uneducated stoners.

The overall crime rate in the UAE is extremely low, something like 1.5%. The US is around 5% I believe.

Well Tacks, from what I understand also is that the US records it's crime rates very differently then some other countries do. US crime rating is based on arrests whereas other countries base it on convictions.

I wouldn't be surprised if they said "fuck it" and built a dome around the entire thing.
