are there mosques in Dubai giving Friday sermon in other languages than Arabic?

In Malaysia, we have several mosques giving Friday sermon in Tamil for the Indian Muslim communities...

There is a plan for a Chinese speaking mosque too...

Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, the Philippines, India these would already be Muslims, just probably didn't practice it until now.

True. That could be a significant factor.

The naming of something doesn't make it the reality. Water in an emptied vodka bottle doesn't mean its water. Many people with Muslim names are not even within the fold of Islam - they don't even know basic stuff which is needed.

Did you mean 'Water in an emptied vodka bottle doesn't mean it's vodka? Or did I completely misunderstand what you are trying to say?

Sorry - my error there - you are right I meant water in a vodka bottle doesn't now make that bottle the drink vodka (even if the label says so)...same with the Muslims (and their using the label 'Muslim')...they have to understand what LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH means with full understanding in order to become a Muslim.

A lot of the Ummah today is engrossed in major shirk (like grave/saint worship) which exists one from the religion of Islam.

Allah make our affairs good (ameen).
