    Default The average arab in the street

    Don't worry - I am sure they are really just an open and gentle society... when they are not stomping and burning flags or setting off bombs on each other.

    The average Arab in the street, huh? I hardly think that news story represents the vast majority of people of Arab bloodlines around the world.

    Also isn't the Bush family all buddy buddy with the Saudi royals? Hmm. Maybe old Georgy boy should be trying to spread his vision of peace for the Middle East in Saudi Arabia. Oh yes, that's right. He wouldn't want to interrupt that direct flow of cash into his families personal bank accounts that comes from the House of Saud now would he?

    Like comparing a fruit against clouds.

    The aussie is one man who does violence against people unapproved by the populace.

    The other is the approval of the maiming of another human being by a crowd in the street.

    Why don't you wander over to SA with a mini skirt, high heels, and a low cut blouse and find out who is the racist?


    Or maybe you will open your mind to recognizing a sick society when you see it instead of screaming like the typical ignorant liberal.

    Good call. The Irish don't have public maimings and executions either.

    Should I consider myself European even though I have never lived there?

    Also isn't the Bush family all buddy buddy with the Saudi royals? Hmm. Maybe old Georgy boy should be trying to spread his vision of peace for the Middle East in Saudi Arabia.

    My confession: I am racist against Arabs. I can't help it. This used to bother me a lot, and sometimes it still does, but that's the way it is. I just can't stand their culture and I have yet to meet an Arab who is not a completely self-entitled lazy asshole. It's like they want the world to give them everything they want and all they ever do is scream and demand more and destroy shit when they don't get what they want. And the men... ugh. I can't help it, I just don't like them.

    Oddly, Iranian culture suffers from a lot of the same problems but all the Persians I've met have been perfectly normal people. It's not a Muslim thing, it's an Arab thing.

    ... and, of course, red-blooded Americans have never engaged in mob violence, maiming and public executions... ummm, except for this sort of thing:

    Oh, right, but that's different. They were protecting the purity of white women. My mistake.

    No. They were fucking animals for planting that "strange fruit hanging from trees."

    Also note these animals did it in the dead of the night hidden away under bedsheets not out in the open declaring it was good for the people.

    The fact the court systems also condoned it or turned it's head on it was also wrong - until the federal courts came into play.

    And guess what - they ended up with an army in their yard during the civil war. Later one during forced integration they ended up with the army airbourne in their yard again too.

    So my question to you is: Where are the "federal courts" in arabian lands? Where are the armies coming to protect people from having their heads sliced off and hands removed? Where is the common outrage?

    Oh come on now, I have studied arabic also.


    And the more times I spend on foreign newspapers and web sites I have my dictionary out scratching my head thinking "I MUST be understanding this wrong."

    I must admit the more I learn about the culture the more I am in a WTF? stance.

    I didnt study. Its one of the languages that part of my family speaks. They come from an Arabic-speaking country. They came to the US about 30 years ago.

    I will say that most of the Muslims I've met are extremely hospitable and friendly people who are genuinely interested in bettering the world as a whole.

    And most Arab people I've met are very proud people, yet still good people. Pride is a difficult barrier to overcome when establishing any rapport.

    However, most Saudi's I've met who come from wealth are very polite to the casual acquantance, but very viscious and cruel in private.

    Interesting - and at least you admit it. I much prefur upfront racists than those who pretend not to be. - At least we all know where we stand (-:

    As a Jewish person, given your above statement, when you come across people who are anti-Semetic do you understand where that comes from? (That's not a dig at you, I just wondered...)

    Nope. Take a good look at the pictures on that site. The lynchings took place in broad daylight, in the presence of entire communities, children included. Then, after the fact, people took pictures of themselves next to the mutilated bodies--note the big grins on the bystanders' faces--and published them as postcard souvenirs. Other people cut off body parts from the corpses, such as hands and feet, as a friendly reminder of the occasion.
    The fact the court systems also condoned it or turned it's head on it was also wrong - until the federal courts came into play.
    Nope. There were lynchings during Reconstruction, and they continued until the 1960s. The federal courts did virtually nothing to stop them.
    And guess what - they ended up with an army in their yard during the civil war.
    Nope. Lynchings began after the Civil War. Far from being the object of "common outrage", they were largely the expression of popular opinion among white communities in the south--and the north (see the photos from the lynching in Minnesota). And they happened as late as the 1960s--within living memory.

    Where exactly does it come from? I'm serious. I want to know. It doesn't make any sense to me, and i'm not Jewish.

    I can see where it comes from with Arabs. I've had a couple of Lebanese boyfriends, and they DO think less of everyone who is not Arab. They do rape women because they are Australian/ Western/ White. I had a boyfriend who became an ex for refering to my family as "Aussie scum".

    I take people as i find them.

    Why do you say "Nope" when every one of my comments are correct?

    Do you deny the bedsheet crowd were hanging people?

    Why did you cut out the use of the army during re-integration? Was it not a consequence forced upon these idiots for their actions?

    Was not the civil war mostly about maltreatment of blacks?

    Was it not the federal courts that ruled on civil rights violations that started the ball rolling?


    Are you saying that no where there was an opposing force to their hostility?

    Anyhow, the whole point to the post was that in our culture there is an automatic correction circuit or whatever it should be called.

    In Arabia, if a mullah says "Jews are ..." - who are you to deny the Word of Allah?

    If the book says "Cut off the hand of a thief" - why aren't people yelling out "That's inhumane!" like they do in the US when a prisoner has no TV set?

    Arabian culture has a deep seated problem. In the US there were civil rights protesters. In Arabia there are vicious terrorists - almost the exact opposite!

    Exactly. I'm not PROUD of it, but I can't help it. Race doesn't matter to me with any other group, but my experiences with Arabs have just been this way 100% of the time (and I mean people raised in an Arab culture, not Americans/Europeans of Arab descent). I can't go against my own experience.

    As for the Jewish thing, I don't get that either because most of the myths that bigots have about us are patently false. We do not control the world, we did not kill Jesus (and even if we did, his death was evidently a GOOD thing for Christians), we do not drink the blood of Christian children, we do not have horns, etc. Are we frugal? Generally yes. Our culture does value education and frugality, so there really IS something to the "penny-pinching lawyer/doctor" stereotype. Stereotypes usually get to be that way for a reason.
