I think you look like someone I've seen before . . .
But, aside, you don't look very MidEastern, maybe if you got a turban with a bomb attached to it, and grew a bushy, black beard.

Oddly enough, all the Albanians I know (one of whom is married to my best friend) are Christians as well.

You don't look middle eastern, but you look a bit like a Muslim friend I have in Central Asia.
Bah, Muslims don't wear turbans. Sikhs do, but not Muslims. Muslims wear skullcaps or those thinks that look like tea towels. >.>

Some Hindus wear turbans as well. And Mennonite women sport kerchiefs similar to many Muslim women. What a crazy, mixed up world we live in:)

I'm offended and rather than replying in a coherent, mature, and intellegent manner, I'm gonna burn something to the ground. That'll show ya!

What a crazy, mixed up world we live in:)I know, it completely confounds one's ability to form a logical stereotype. Except for university students - they're all worthless bums mooching of the state... and don't get me started on Thespians.

Thespians are always late for sets

Apart from Sikhs (who always wear turbans), Rajasthani (North-western state in India) hindus and muslims also wear turbans

My point is that most people who wear Turbans in Europe aren't Muslim. Turbans are more of a regional thing. I know there are cases of Sikhs being assaulted post 9/11 because they're were mistaken for Muslims. I mean... if you want to be racist (or whatever word you want to use as prejudice on the grounds of religion apparently doesn't count as racism - legally that is) the you might as well get it right.

well i just realized that there was an anti-arab attitude going on in the forums, and increased after these cartoons and stuff, so most threads with involving middle eastern, Islam or Arabs are 90% anti, so i automatically assumed that you saw it a bad thing looking like an Arab!!!

There is no single "Middle Eastern" look.
Your appearance is, nonetheless, consistent with those of certain Middle Eastern populations.

...if you add vanilla to rice and milk (and maybe some raisins -- optional), you've got rice pudding.

No, I just said it looks silly. Although most hats do, so it's not like it's your fault or something.
