Thanks for the ping. The similarities between the stereotypical Arab and liberal mindset are fascinating.

The result is that many Arabs often do not end up feeling a sense of responsibility for their own failures. To admit that a problem is ones own fault brings humiliation upon one's self and also shames the group's honor. Thus, the obsession with avoiding shame cancels out the possibility of truthful self-reflection and examination. excellent observation. This accounts for the chronic revisionism which plagues the Arab Islamic world with respect to their history of demagoguery and hegemony.

Since I'm a betting man I'll put my money on Islam over Multi-culturalism and leave the points. Since PC has nothing going for it save "Hate Whitey" Islam will break it faster than the Lions went 0-10, witness the Islamic prayer rooms that are just appearing inside our public schools. I cannot wait to see some insolent man-hating feminist PC diversity queen outfitted with a burqua, hell I'll convert just so I can lash her for speaking in public.

I love this statement: "In the Arab culture, therefore, there is a great appreciation of gesture, but not necessarily an emphasis on logic, or on the relationship between cause and effect."

I couldnt count how many Arab taxi drivers have explained to me that the Americans themselves orchestrated the 1979 Iranian Revolution..... I don't have to read any further. I place all of my confidence in Arab taxi drivers. It has been my experience that not a one of them can get me from DFW airport to Lakewood (East Dallas) without a detour through Kansas City.
'Nuff said!!
