“The Situation is Really Bad” (In Arab/Muslim Countries)

This is truly a portrait of terminal ignorance.

[mad puppy]

To bad no one in those sorry parts of the world can read the report. Their leaders certainly aren't going to do anything about it on their own.

[Ditter]

Someone will probably stone the messenger.

[Gurn]

“We have to admit that the situation is really bad.”

Thanks for the news flash, Achmed, but I think you could have phrased it a little differently.

Try this: "We're a bunch of backward, rag-wearing barbarians with no sanctity for human life, or respect for individual liberty. Without oil, we'd all be herding goats, not just 99.5 percent of us. We're savages, and whatever we get, we deserve. Oh, yeah: We worship a pagan god."

I think that's better. Accuracy and all.

[norraad]

Now that's clarity, thank you.

[Robe]

With any luck, they're to $%^&ing ignorant to DUCK!!!

[CatoRenasci]

Islam: fourteen centuries of ignorance and barbarism without the interference of progress or human decency!

[RightWhale]

One of their problems is that they can't charge interest on loans. They need to establish some interest rates, 3-5% or so prime rate, and higher for consumer items.

[Guillermo]

Any Arab who suggests taking a self-critical view is obviously a puppet of the United States.

Every thinker knows that EVERY problem that Arabs and Muslims face stems from the Evil Zionists.

[Guillermo]

No, their leaders will point to Israel and the United States.

Do you think it's any wonder why the Arabs refuse to settle the Palestinian issue? If they ever did, the focus of their people would turn to their own corruption.

[MissAmericanPie]

First they would have to get rid of Islam who likes it's people bare foot and ignorant.

[norraad]

Just get rid of'um P E R I O D ! !

& oh yeah, just before the deed, send in the choppers with the big speakers {A-pack-o-lips NOW} only instead of Wagner play real loud the AOL sign-off...,

.. good-bye

[MissAmericanPie]

Now that is funny. However I would prefer them to play "Bodies" by Drowning Pool. "Let the bodies hit the floor" seems very appropriate to the situation.

[Hammerhead]

Tash calls on “governments, people and organizations… [to] cooperate wholeheartedly to lift the Arab world from the depth it now finds itself in.”

Yeh, sure. We REALLY want to help you guys out, especially in the area of science. That's all we need is a bunch of Chemistry/Nuclear/Biological PHD terrorist running around.

I like the Arab world just where it is thank you.

[Southack]

"“The average economic growth in the last 20 years is not more than 0.5 percent,” Tash writes

It's worth noting that .5 percent national economic growth is LESS than their rate of population growth.

That means that their societies are growing more poor (per capita) each year.

Saudi Arabia, for instance, had an average household income of $30,000 per year in 1970 (unadjusted for inflation, btw).

Today, Saudia Arabia's average household income is below $15,000 per year.

You forgot the part about it congealing into a boil that's about to pop.

[Prodigal Son]

To bad no one in those sorry parts of the world can read the report. Their leaders certainly aren't going to do anything about it on their own.

My thoughts exactly.
