Perhaps you missed my point. Everything I was saying was deliberately sensational. After all we have to make life slightly interesting :-p
Anyways the Arabs are a lovely nation, I admire many things about them including their language, food, manners, sense of honour and most of all generosity. Howver it cannot be denied that sometimes they come across as particularly arrogant. Im not bringing up sectarian beliefs. I was talking about arabs vs non arabs thats called nationalism. An example of arab nationalism going crazy is its attitude toward the "Persians". Muslimah I dont think you would deny that there is general dissent amongst arabs towards the persians, I have plenty of examples to choose from. However having said that, the same holds true for Persians who are equally racist toward arabs at times. Both positions are equally condemnable.
The question the brother posed was why a black man is not considered worthy of an arab woman. All I was saying was that the case was the same with a Pakistani man and an arab woman. While the opposite does not hold true. Why is this?
