Whatever-7...please read my post once again.i have clearly mentioned that i am not talking about all arabic speaking people.my query was only with respect to GCC nationals...i.e.,UAE,Qatar,Bahrain,Kuwait,Saudi Arabia and Oman.so egypt clearly does not fall into that category.and the question is not explicitly posed against you.and regarding the part as to whether i have done a thorough study about arabs....my dear friend,i have lived in the middle east all my life and know about this region more than my own homeland.

Happy Happy...what's so "ungrounded and untruthful" about what i said???just take a drive to rayyan or gharaffa today evening and take a look at the plush arab houses in that area.u'll see for yourself what i have said is true.if haven't noticed it till now,that's not my problem.heck,why drive?even while travelling in an airplane at night,just look down when you pass over any country in the Middle east and u'll see small dotted lighted squares on the ground...marking house compounds.

heavens,i just asked a simple innocent question and people accuse me of blasphemy!where is this world going to? :-o
