Anyway, he had a day off and wasn't feeling much pain so he went and knocked on their door. He said their accents were very heavy and it kinda suprised him. They offered him a beer (Mickey's Big Mouth malt liqour).
He also said that since then, they've been very low-key and not very visible. Definately worth another look IMO.
Funny how I happened upon this thread as just tonight my wife's son and I were talking about his new neighbors in an apartment above his---two Arab dudes.Anyway, he had a day off and wasn't feeling much pain so he went and knocked on their door.

Those could be regular guys here to go to school, mind their business, and go back home. If they were sucking down some malt liquors I'd suspect there's a decent chance of it. Not every Arab is into messing with us.
Years ago, I met a guy from Libya -- he was the room mate of a friend of mine. The guy was -- apart from his accent and complexion -- no different from any other college dude, with one exception: he despised Ghadaffi with a passion, and was here taking business classes so that he could go back to Libya to try to help turn his country around. He told me he wanted to see a "capitalist revolution" there to get rid of the insane dictator. He wanted to see Libya turn into something like the USA.
I told him he was crazy and that he'd end up dead if he went back to try it but he said he it was his country, he hated Ghadaffi, and wanted it to be a free country like the USA, and he was gonna go back and do what he could.
I expect he's either dead or in jail now, because Ghadaffi is still on the throne.
Anyway, from your description, I got the impression that those guys were more the mind-their-own-business type, and when they saw what the terrs did in NY and DC, and then got that "visit" from your stepson, they got the crap scared out of 'em, and are laying low because they're terrified they'll be associated with the vermin.
