Funny Arabic story

scherzo....the self-described "pan-nationalist arab" living in my country.

Maybe his green card reads the name "Fernando Valenzuela" or "Ludacris".

yes, he probably has a long list of the kind of people he doesn't like.
he's the kind that jumped and down in glee and passed out candy to kids when the taliban blew up the 1,000 year old hindi statutes carved into the cliffs.

I don't think he knows real Arabic. He probably speaks the Israeli dialect, which twists everything around, so that "fedayeen" means "terrorists" instead of "freedom fighters" and "watan" means "fictional creation" instead of "homeland."

If I had a sense of humor that crappy I'd want to run around with a bomb and blow myself up.

Dudes and ladies! This thread is about a humorous anecdote! The winner doesn't get any land, natural resources or ideological hegemony.

Where's what's-her-face who used to suggest getting naked and rolling on cookies in situations like this?

No, this was a real RHPer, maybe four or five years ago, who actually talked about nude cookie-frolicking once in a while. It was a fine mood-lightener.

What type of Arabic do you speak?? "Bismallah" means "in the name of God." You may be thinking of, perhaps, "al'hamdu li-illah" or "ahlan wa sahlan."

Hmm, I know what Bismallah means and what you said is correct.

But i was saying, why would you tell your friend, "Bismallah, what did you say" and she thought you called her by her name! Doesn't Bismallah mean "In the name of God"? Why would you say: "Bismallah, what did you say"

And i know Bismallah is used when you start something as i mentioned, as for example eating. Thats how muslims do it.
