It is so sickening when members here mimic biased journalism.
Members here generalize and are either doing it on propose or out of ignorance.

Oh, man, I called someone here Arab, and he cussed me out, saying he was Egyptian. But my husband refers to himself as Arab. So which is it? Arab Republic of Egypt..... Posts: 8794 | From: 01-20-09 The End of an Error | Registered: Dec 2004

I am living in jordan now and try to harass a woman here! I dare anyone. God bless Queen Rania and her influence on the law, the women's word is over the men's and rightfully so.
The same is occurring in other Arab nations as well but biased individuals have a sick set mentality and they fail to grasp what is unfolding in the Arab world.
visit it now as in 2007 and see for yourselves. Arabs are wonderful and proud people. So proud they are shafting occupation forces in Iraq, Arabs are the only people alive who are standing up to imperialist evil. They are crazy as hell killing each other and blowing up mosques but hey they don't play around.

‘Om Bubblemouth’ I love it and it fits you and it is so cute and it so real, please keep it. I hated ‘trollin’.
I don’t know you see technically Egyptians are not Arabs but Amr bin 3as along with his 4000 Arabs came to Egypt and married a lot of women and the Arabization of Egypt commenced.
Language wise(colloquially) Egyptians don’t talk like Arabs but this is natural because colloquially languages vary from nation to nation.
Egyptians are if you think about it represent Arabs in the world stage. Syria and Yemen became Arab republics because of Egyptian intervention. Egypt is practically 1/3 of Arabs, unfortunately the weak and corrupt leadership in Egypt has failed to capitalize on this fact.

Valid criticism is not the problem, stigmatizing the entire Arab world because of actions of one/some Arab nations is. The U.S department of Justice reports that more than 100,000 attempted abductions of children by non-family members occurred in 1988 are we to stigmatize the entire west?
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say Saudia Arabia is this or that rather than saying Arabs or the Arab world. Perhaps it would be more honest to say Iran is this or that instead of stigmatizing Islam as whole.
