According to the recently published "IQ and the Wealth of Nations," by Lynn and Vanhanen, the IQ of the Egyptian population is 83, that of the Iranian 84. These numbers are considered borderline retarded.

Well that's some interesting info. Retarded, eh?

Here's my favorite synopsis of the situation by John Derbyshire of the National Review:

We are dealing here with people who are, not to put too fine a point on it, nuts. The Arabs, the Iranians, the Pakis, the Libyans: they are nuts, the great majority of them. Nuts. Not playing with a full deck. Not too tightly wrapped. One brick short of a load, one coupon short of a toaster. The smoke not going all the way up the chimney. Not quite 16 annas to the rupee. Nuts.
