"I lived in America for a long time. Only 10% of all Americans have a passport. In other words, 90% never left America," said Sharif. "They don't know anything. Americans are ignorant."

Why vacation in some hell hole of a country in another part of the world when we have the most beautiful country on earth?

Actually, Americans are just happy with America. It isn't a backward pest-hole like so many Muslim nations and therefore it's inhabitants don't celebrate the day of their adulthood by immediately applying for a passport out of their country like so many Muslims. Something many people in other countries don't understand is just how big the US is. In Europe, a 2 hr drive gets you from Munich to Paris, Amsterdam, maybe Zurich. Here, a 2 hr drive gets you to work. This is what many non-Americans mean by travel - scurrying from one tiny "nation" to another. And this prevents ignorance? Who knew
