I'm sure most of you haven't even set foot an the arab/muslim country and probably never will or will ever want to. I was actually in Saudi and UAE (Dubai) during the attack and watched a lot of it from different hotel lobbies which had TVs.

In Saudi I was the only westerner sitting amongst muslim/arab hotel guests most of them in full burka, headdress and so on. I always like to integrate when I travel - its really the best way to understand a country and its people.

I was listening to the conversations and you probably would be very surprised to learn that they we're all shocked and angered and it wasn't a show they were putting on for my benefit. They genuinely are saddened and see no justification for it and I think that's pretty much the view of the people as a whole.
