the problem with images like this is that it puts a pox on every camel jockey who lives in the west.

if you've ever done business with arabs you already know they are mostly no fucking good...shit like this just reinforces that feeling.

because a few stupid fucks do this, every arabic kid living in western society will be taunted, every arabic businessman in the western world will be looked at with suspect, every new york cabbie from egypt will lose income.

the social aspects of this do not benefit arabs. the rich family in iran who sends their kid to america to become a doctor to live the good life, now becomes just another "sand hahahahahaha" or "rag head" or "dune coon". don't believe it---just watch as americans vote with their dollars.

this hurts the daily life of every arabic person who lives in a civilized society (usually the west), big-time.

and for the situation to change it is the arabs themselves that need to decry this primitive behavior---because if they do not publicly denounce it they will be looked at with suspicion. the same thing happened to japanese americans during WWII.
