The Arabs, as a race and culture, have been around for millenia. That speaks volumes about their tenaciousness, cunning and stamina. They never forget an insult or hurt and they never forgive the person who commits those acts, but they just keep on trying to destroy what they feel they must. Even if it takes centuries.

Hell, they're still ticked off over the Crusades, and that was nearly a THOUSAND YEARS AGO!!

(I sincerely believe the only thing they'll miss from Western Civilization is air conditioning.)

Very true. Their society hasn't advanced much since then.

Your typical desert-demon worshipping goblin in 1500 AD: "Today I think I'll screw a camel, abuse some women, go break something, and b!tch about the Crusades"

Your typical desert-demon worshipping goblin is 2002 AD: "Today I think I'll screw a camel, abuse some women, go break something, and b!tch about the Crusades"

Any guesses as to the itenaray in the year 2003?

Yeah, kind of like Satan! But all their tenacity, cunning, and stamina won't mean a hill of beans on the day of God's wrath. Then—perhaps only then?—they will understand that they were wrong all those centuries long.
