Thinking Like an Arab
Canada Free Press ^ | Monday, March 6, 2006 | Alan Caruba

Muslim Arab Teenager: "Hmmm, my religion allows men to have up to four wives. The population is generally 50% men and 50% women. Therefore, 3 out of every 4 arab muslim men are gonna be shiite out of luck in finding a date/bride. I have three choices: 1) acquire a sheep or goat; 2) treat Ahmed nicer than I have been; or 3) Blow myself up to become a martyr because every arab man with 4 wives has told me that I will get 72 virgins in heaven.

Oddly, he has a masters' in petrochemical engineering.

He was being politially correct by not say "Muslims" in that sentence. And...I guess it is true that the mentality he is talking about is the dominate Arab mind - Muslims.

Leon Uris wrote a book entitled "The Haj". As I remember it, a central thesis was that every Arab boy grows up with a goal of killing his father.

It gives a personal perspective to the academic descriptions of the recommended paper. I recommend it.

Reminds me of what my uncle told me the other day:

BR, it's a pretty sh1tty group of people that have to call everyone else inferior to make themselves feel good.

He knows them well too, having worked in the ME during the 70's for Shell.

Aide's role in mosque deal eyed
BRA official raised funds, priced land
By Charles A. Radin and Yvonne Abraham, Globe Staff | March 4, 2006

"A top Boston Redevelopment Authority official who previously downplayed his role in the Roxbury mosque project of the Islamic Society of Boston assisted in the city's reduction of the price the mosque backers paid for the site from $2 million to $175,000, according to BRA documents that have surfaced in lawsuits over the controversial project."

Verbal grandiosity is greatly applauded by Arabs. When facts are trumped by "ideas", however, you have entered Alice’s bizarre Wonderland.

Oh, they are liberals. Well that explains everything.

Arabs are semitic people - as semitic as the Jews.

I believe the root/origin of Islam is Arabic. Who are the Muslims? A generic term?
