Hello everybody and a blessed Ramadan to all of you.
I think we need to cut Khayyam some slack here. I personally believe that all people from different nations (e.g. Arabs, Indians/Pakistanis, Westerners, etc.) should acknowledge their social shortcomings and try to point them out to fellow citizens in order to get rid of them as much as possible. I personally get very annoyed when a fellow Arab does something that is typcial of Arabs. So it is very natural for Khayyam to be annoyed.
However, we need to be very sensitive when pointing out those shortcomings, especially to people not from our own origins. In addition, we need to remember that those other people have many pleasant social attributes. When I lived in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, I had many good Indian, Pakistani, Western, and Arabian Gulf friends who had many great cultural attributes that drew me closer to them.
This is my own perspective and, again, a blessed Ramadan to all of you.
