Why American anti-Arab sentiment is beneficial...
An old Arab lived close to New York City for more than 40 years. He would have loved to plant potatoes in his garden, but he is alone, old and weak. His son is in college in Paris, so the old man sends him an e-mail. He explains the problem:
"Beloved son,
I am very sad, because I can't plant potatoes in my garden. I am sure, if only you were here, you would help and dig up the garden for me.
I love you,
Your Father"
The following day, the old man receives a response e-mail from his son:
"Beloved Father,
Please don't touch the garden. It's there that I have hidden 'the THING'.
I love you, too,
Ahmed"
At 4pm the US Army, The Marines, the FBI, the CIA and the Rangers visit the house of the old man, take the whole garden apart, search every inch, but can't find anything. Disappointed they leave the house.
A day later, the old man receives another e-mail from his son.
"Beloved Father,
I hope the garden is dug up by now and you can plant your potatoes.
That's all I could do for you from here.
I love you,
Ahmed."

Hahahaha!:D It's like the story of the guy who got robbed, phoned the cops but was told that they didn't have a unit available. So he rang back five minutes later and said not to bother coming out as he had shot the intruders. Within five minutes there were police on the scene and they managed to get the robber.

Hmm, it must have crossed the pond. The Daily Mail (iirc) reported a similar story in Britain.

That has to be the grossest, most ignorant threadline (see: headline) I've read in a long time.
Dude, my last thread was entitled: American and Chinese battlegroups face off in the pacific. (About predicted American/Chinese relations 30 years into the future.)
I like to draw attention by using confusing headlines. :D
People come in the thread to troll, all worked up, angry and leave with a laugh.
The world needs laughter.
Won't you laugh with me?
Hug?

Well to be honest I wouldn't put it past the Daily Mail to do such.
But we do live in a wonderful world, maybe a woman heard the original version and used when she was burgaled. Who knows.
All that matters is that it gave me a chuckle:)
We semites are so crafty...

oh so crafty...hey since you said "we"
uhhm... then you understand the oxymoron of an arab being anti-semitic right? If I was taught correctly than that is an oxymoron

I'm sorry, I think I may be more ignorant than I expected to be. Sematics are Jews, right? So anti-sematics are anti-Jewish, right? Or does semitic mean Arab or something? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Semitic refers to a family of languages including both arabic and hebrew.

no actually I might have been taught wrong, I'll bring it up completely some other time...but as I understood it...the israelites "father" is abraham and so is the arab's. so when an arab is anti-sematic he is anti himself

If you hate Arabs you are Antisemite.
If you hate Jews you are Antisemite too.

Did you write this story? Or did you find it somewhere? Either way, its good. :)
The Semites were a group of people who lived on the Red Sea coast of Arabia thousands of years ago. They split off into several tribes, which went on the become the Israelites (Jews), the Ishmaelites (Arabs) and several other peoples in the same general area.
Kickass story!
Made my day!

It looks like they went to a lot of trouble to get to the "root" of the problem?
That was fun....THX.... :D
