The fact that this guy Fugate is an oil man instantly made this crap suspect to me.

An Air Force cousin of mine and his WIFE were stationed in Arabia and they tell a FAR different story!

They're all bloodthirsty cult members!!!

What a race baiter! You are almost correct here! Just the muslims are cult members!

No, they don't. If this were true, why would we be called infidels, and why would Christ be called a prophet instead of God's son.

And if they believe Jesus was a great prophet why isn't any of his teachings being taught to the Muslems?

They will tell you they believe in Jesus that he was a great prophet. Ask one "what did Jesus teach if you believe he was a prophet" and they can't tell you..

That's a little phrase they use "we believe in Jesus" just to throw you off. I almost scream when I hear Christians say.. Well, they beleive in Jesus. They believe in the historical Jesus but they don't believe he was divine or anything he said. They don't even believe he died on the cross. In short, they call him a liar at the same time they say he was a prophet of God.

They will look you right in the eye smile and lie and steal your teeth and you may not realize it happened until you go to eat a steak.

LOL!!! Priceless. I'm tempted to steal it myself.

The problem is not with the geniality of Arabs or the personal hospitality of guests. Anybody anywhere can be nice to guests (and should be).

The problem lies in a false religion that demands it's spiritually twisted adherants (aka captives) follow the most stringent, legalistic religious rules in the world while simultaneously demanding they make all other uncooperative people either similarly twisted adherants or dead!

They are rude to us because they are taught from the cradle that their gutter religion and medieval culture are superior to all others. People who will never accomplish anything have to cling to that faux superiority. That's one of the reasons the govt schools push self esteem - their "consumers" won't be able to do much else like reason, read or do simple arithmetic without a calculator.

Try leaving your bag on the platform in the New York subway for two days.

When New York starts whacking off the hands of thieves on a regular basis, you will probably be able to.

I used to work with a Palestinian Catholic from Brazil (believe it or not). He was a great guy. Christian Arabs are not the problem.

I've met several Iranians (under 25) that are modernized. I was to be debating 2 of them on a college TV show on the issue of the middle east. The progressive liberal that was supposed to face off against me copped out at the last minute so the host bought 2 iranians in. I was somewhat dissapointed because they were really a bunch of wimps. They didn't even really disagree with anything I said about 9/11 or what's going on in Israel. They took a bit of an issue with putting all muslims in the same catagory but that's about it.

I had one tell me it would be like me screwing an insect

Gotta admire his courage. Most men wouldn't admit to being able to do that.

In fact Muslims do worship the same god as Christians and Jews.

I believe this qualifies me to speak about Arabs.

Correction.

This qualifies you to speak for the arabs.
And you make as much sense as they do, which is to say little or none.

Now, as for the arabs I've met personally, they were mostly professionals, and their "attitude" was in inverse proportion to their need to display their arabness: e.g. the most overtly arabs in manner dress and comport were uniformly among the most arrogant dilusional SOBs I've met in my life.

The only concession I will make is that the truly civilized ones I might have missed entirely, since they don't wear an "arab" sign.

But then, those are not the ones we need to worry about, are they.

As for having to "experience" the bubonic plague to hold an opinion about it, I will leave it to others to judge for themselves the value of that opinion.

Of course, we tolerate it becuase we want their money.

Speak for yourself.
Obvously Mr Fugate does.
Perhaps you do.

I sure as hell don't.

On what then do they base their opinion? They are largely influenced by the biased news media, which give no quarter in making sure we see all Arabs as bad Arabs.

Actually I see the opposite in the media. How strange is that?

"Of course this last is not true."

Glad you pointed this out!
