Maybe this is what may be called "Arabian Joke"

[CarrotAndStick]

Muslim division and disunity is a boon in disguise for the rest of the "infidel" world, which is yet to even begin to be exploited, for the common good of all.

All we have to do now is try to dismantle OPEC, and hopefully, all will see the freefall in petroleum prices. True capitalism in the Middle East crude markets.

Perhaps, if they were really upset, they'd be making fun of their mustaches and not their lovers.

"A whole country is named after a family. If we open these topics without inhibitions, it is neither to our benefit, nor to theirs."

In other words, you do not want to go there boy-o.

Looks like the Iraqi's are learning very quickly.

[BnBlFlag]

ROTFLMAO!..I don't suppose this guy has ever heard of Political Correctness. I remember the La. congressman who caught a bunch of flak for describing a terrorist as having a "diaper on his head wrapped around by a fan belt".

[F14 Pilot]

I liked the 'Bedouin riding a camel' part!

[Nathan Zachary]

Bedouin riding a camel- LMAO!
Translation: goat herder who thinks he's a prince.

Just wait until the "addicted to the anus" slurs start flying. Wahabbi's were always considered corrupt sinner's since the beginnings of this Islamic cult.

A whole country is named after a family.

Never heard this so well expressed before

Iraq's interior minister lashed out yesterday at a Saudi minister who voiced worries about growing Iranian influence and Shi'ite power, saying Iraq would not be lectured by "some Bedouin riding a camel."

I think that Al Saud minister is scared shi'teless that the four million plus Shiite's' in Saudi might just get emboldened to throw off their Saudi oppressors.

[F14 Pilot]

those shiites also control/protect most of Saudi OIL wells

[freeangel]

LOL. Go get 'em.

[muir_redwoods]

"Prince Faisal, foreign minister of Sunni Saudi Arabia,...."

So, Wahabbist lunatics are considered Sunni?

[darth]

Mideast memories linger for a long time. Only 70 years ago Iraqi villages (then protected by British troops) had to withstand raids by Saudi tribesmen on camels. An entire country descended from caravan raiders and sheep thieves.

It could be worse. They could be doing naughty things to goats.

Wait, They ARE doing those things, and they LIKE it. In addition to little boys.

What do those people have against women?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

What do those people have against women?

It would be wrong to abuse the goats.

"some Bedouin riding a camel."

American Version: "some Cowboy riding a horse"

I don't get it. Bring back Baghdad Bob
for new material Iraqi boys.

Throughout history, cartels have not held together.

However, OPEC is filling its coffers and they can probably withstand a sharp price drop for awhile, especially if it puts the competition into bankruptcy.

[NutmegDevil]

In Saudi Arabia, being called a Bedouin is a high compliment - as being called a cowboy in Wyoming. It's far from an insult.

So, Wahabbist lunatics are considered Sunni?

Yes they are. They have the same roots and structure as Sunni, but are stupider. (quite a feat actually)
