Strung Out
I'm sorry...
"Man, if those damn Japanese don't quit threatening to nuke Israel, I'm gonna get mad! And, besides, I'm sick of them helping the Shia's in Iraq cause disruptions. I'll bet they are even supplying parts and munitions that end up in insurgents hands killing GI's..."
How's that?
BTW, did you know that 3% of Iranians are defined as Arabs?
Also, a great many Arabs are Muslims and, well, a whole bunch of Iranians are Muslims. In fact, there's even Shia's in BOTH Iran and Iraq.
And, did you know it is fairly common to think of their part of the world as an 'Arab' area, kinda like thinking of the US as a 'Christian' or 'Caucasian' area, which isn't all that accurate either but is generally accepted as good enough for people to know what you mean.
Hell, there's Iraqis and Iranians in the US to! I had this nice Iranian lady cut my hair last month.
There might even be a few 'Arabs' in Japan. Whaddya think? maybe they're taking advanced Homicidal Maniac classes from the masters, seeings how it worked so good for them...
Care to share with the class why the use of "Arab" torqued your jaw so much?
SmallTown said:In your eyes, the japanese don't belong in this thread. The same could be said about Arabs. Yet, you chose to go after one group, the Japanese, and let the Arab comments slide. Imagine that.
