Most Americans couldn't point out Iran on the map and have no idea what the difference between an Arab, a Coptic, Egyptian, Berber, or Persian is.  Don't take it personally, Bush and Co. are just ratcheting up the propoganda machine so we can do something rash and stupid to your country soon.  Start digging yourself a nice bomb shelter, you're gonna need it in about 30 days or so.\n\nPersonally, I've always been partial to Persian culture, and I apologize profoundly for what my un-elected officials want to do to your country.  Your leader is quite an idiot as well though, and it doesn't help that ours is too.  We should sign a citizen's treaty for mutual withdrawal of our LMD's (Leaders of Mass Destruction), and then go get a beer.

oianz saying "i  have yet to meet a militant Muslim".   keeping your head in the sand (no pun intended) doesnt make it go away.  there are groups of muslims who want every non muslim dead.  they ingrain it in their heads from day one.  the evidence is there I just dont understand why you refuse to believe it.  Do any research of the history of the middle east.  Call me racist do whatever but when somebody says they are going to kill you you should take it seriously and take care of the problem before they get their wish.

I've written a great deal about the dangers of Islam lately, but you must understand, there is a great deal of misunderstanding about the Middle-east due to differences that most Westerners don't even consider:\n1) When most Westerners speak, they look at the speaker when listening, but the speaker looks away most of the time.\nFor many Middle-eastern cultures it is the other way around, looking when speaking, and looking away when listening.  Here's the funny part: It makes Westerners look like they are evasive and deceitful when the speak and too bold when they listen.  Westerners often think Middle-eastern people to be careless listeners and to be too forceful when talking, all due to differences in body language!\n2) The personal space of many Middle-eastern people is much smaller, and conversations often occur at a close enough distance to make most Westerners very uncomfortable.  Middle-eastern people often find Westerners suspicious and distant.\n3) In the Middle-east, the left hand is considered private and is not used to touch others often, as it is the hand used for cleaning oneself.  The right hand is used for eating and touching.  Westerners are very careless by Middle-eastern standards and touch everything with either hand, while some Middle-easterners seem hesitant to touch or awkward due to switching hands to do something.\n4) My mother used to travel extensively with her father, an oil executive, to the Middle-east, and became Sufi herself, as did her mother.  She commented often about how people would respond with "it broke itself" rather than "it broke".  They would leave cars by the side of the road, dispose of clocks that ran down, not because they didn't know it could be repaired, but because there was no real acceptance of trying to fix things that have 'broken themselves'.\n5) Western women are careless, provocative, and flaunt themselves constantly, proving they are whores to Middle-eastern morals.  Western women who then turn around and pretend they aren't are even lower.  The poor Western women are totally perplexed when the clothing, manners, and words that we accept in a free society and still respect the rights of the woman involved suddenly results in 'undeserved abuse'!  It's even worse if in their countries!\n6) Much of the flowery speech so wildly exaggerated by Western films of how Middle-easterners speak to each other is based on what to them is proper courtesy.  Imagine stepping back in time a century or two and see what effect YOUR speech would have on U.S. citizens!  No, they see us as rude and often get even more polite, while at the same time determining how best to be done with you, leaving Westerners even more confused when they suddenly find themselves politely being shown the door!  Westerners are used to rudeness as a sign that they have made a mistake, and a chance to fix it.\n7) Do I really need to go on?  Their values and personalities are quite reasonable for their culture and beliefs, but mixed with ours, it's dynomite waiting to explode.\n\nNone of this excuses the misunderstandings for either group, and sometimes it comes down to "us or them", but it never hurts to be aware of these things.  I strongly suggest people read the Koran, not just for cultural understanding (always useful), but to recognize the dangers that Islam poses to the West until it goes through the reformation those in the know are trying to start, by force, if necessary.\n\nOh, I think a few things about their personality could be learned from.  But I'm a U.S. citizen and patriot.  Stand strong, folks, but understand what you are facing.  One day they'll be some of our best allies, just like Japan.

There are Indian, Thai, English, Palestinian, America, French, Sudanese etc. in Dubai. Their values are generally whatever they were back home.  Only 10% of th epopulation is actually Emirati - the rest is such a mix its hard to categorize them.

You shouldn't generalize, not all people are against Arabs.  For example, I work with some and they're very kind people. \n\nBut I do understand your frustration.  Most people are simply ignorant and don't take the time to learn more about what it takes to really understand others, or in this case, foreigners.

I am a Greek, Brought up in Athens and I can most certainly testify that Greek schooling and general attitude during the 80's was against the ottomans and the muslims in General.  Not many Greeks I know are particularly friendly towards muslims. This is normal and natural.  Greece is the natural border of christian europe and has defended the continent from muslim invasions for eons.  Hellenic nationals had to stick together for many years and cope with a lot of misery. It was because of xenophobia, racism and a sense of superiority that Greece and its people survived as a nation through the wars and the attempted systematic extermination of our ideals and genetic and cultural identity.  It was Kisinger him self that famously said that the 'Greeks are difficult to tame and we shall dilute the glue that holds them together'.     What people need to realise is that Iran and Greece has something very very very much in common they are both pelasgian tribes of the original white race.   Yes Iranians are perhaps the most true representations of ARIAN.  What we trully have in common is that our true civilisation has been supressed by two oppresive types of religion Christianity and Islam.  The brightest Iranian and Hellenic minds have been enslaved with dogmatic oppressive thought suppresing cultural viruses - religion.   The rulers of this planet are SOO HAPPY when pelasgian populations fight with each other as it guarantees their control.  GROW UP,  OPEN YOUR MIND AND WAKE UP !
