Just because some of you have never left your country and just talk about the Arab countries from what you hear about them in the news, doesn't make you correct in anyway. We are not "rag heads" or "intolerant" or have no "balls". How about you go concentrate on your struggling and devastated economy before you waste your time insulting my country which has done nothing to you. If you think that it’s good you live in America and no where else, I feel sorry for you because you have not experienced the life we live here. Ask any American who has left America to live in the Middle East, they'll tell you the truth about the life here and how much better it is. I hope that any of you who have a close minded view of the Middle East get to experience our lives so you learn the truth about our cultures which are characterized by kindness, generosity, and openness.

I was so disappointed to read this post and all the comments made by people about this issue which they are obviously ignorant about. I was such a huge fan of this blog. Let me ask you a question: if someone insulted Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, or any other religion you might be, wouldn't you want that person to be held accountable for what they said? Wouldn’t you find it insulting? Well I definitely would. I am a Jordanian Arab Christian and if anyone insulted Jesus, the bible, or anything that has to do with my religion I would want that person to be punished. However, that wouldn't give me the right to publically insult a country on a website I know millions of people around the world read everyday. I would never go around insulting America or any other country. You guys would be privileged to live in a country such as mine.
