Thank God, there is at least one sensible man in the Arab world.

I wanted to punch that cap wearing bearded motherfucker so fuckin bad, this is why we can never prosper as long as guys with that mentality still run the damn show and the rest of the arab world remains silent and submissive.

@PaleSilverLight  Bravo! Yes. This is of course one of the reasons why the Jews are so hated; not because they are lazy, violent and indolent but because they are independent, creative and above all, survivors who keep excelling and contributing to every area of human achievement. Compare that to the Muslims who blame everyone but themselves for the hell always manage to create not just for themselves but everyone around them. The Brotherhood will herald in a terrible dark age

"There are two types that make up humanity: Intelligent men without religion and religious men without intellect" Al-Ma'arri 973-1057 Syrian Philosopher. At last another Syrian who is not afraid to tell it as it is. We need MANY more like him to speak out against the idiocy of the Arab bandit culture and its bizarre mixture of self-pity and self-aggrandizement.

A child In the backstreets of Cairo may be the next Newton or Einstein but not even a fraction of their potential will be met due to the mindset of defeatist backwardness that plagues much of the islamic world.

The Jewish ghettos of WWII produced world class scientists and artists. They didn't shake fists at imaginary enemies, they rolled up their sleeves, faced reality & supported eachother.

The Brotherhood is incapable of realising anyone's true genius so Arabs are voting for their doom.

I believe education should not become a reason or a topic for a debate. this should be discussed thoroughly and should weigh in each opinion that might have been presented to all. Hoping we,the youth, would really have the education that we needed with aide of the generation ahead of us.

SUBHANALLAH!

Wow ,it looks like there some kind of rational and logical thinking going on in the Arab world. This is the most sensible Arab man I have ever heard, since most are so ignorant.

That dirty old fat bastard with the hat obviously enjoys flicking between channels to watch porn. He seems to know a lot about girls having group sex with Africans.

Funny how this guy does not realize its actually their lack of development and power, that lets them be influenced by foreign cultures.. Which is basically the definition of the concept weak vs. strong..
