globeandmail.com: Dubai ruler donates $10-billion to boost education in Arab world: "The ruler of Dubai and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates left the other delegates at the forum almost speechless when he announced on the weekend that he would spend $10-billion (U.S.) of his own money to improve the level of education in the Arab world.

The announcement was greeted by thunderous applause at the forum being held on the shores of the Dead Sea, and was immediately hailed as the largest charitable donation ever given in the Muslim world."
