In fact, whether having your visa denied for "insufficient funds" when you're Saudi, or asked if you are "Izlamic" by some Harvard grad student, generally makes you want to blow yourself up. Oops. That's exactly what I am talking about: we Ay-rabs have radical/barbaric reactions : joy and happiness are expressed by gun shots, and anger by self punishment, ie: I'll blow myself up to make you shut up. We are by nature politically incorrect: we clearly say (and by say I mean shout) that women are inferior human beings, that salvery gets shit done, that democracy is for pigs and that pigs are from the devil.
