In the UAE, they complain about "the Arabs" coming over and taking "Emirati" jobs. The Saudi's are constantly bitching about the costs of keeping "the Arabs" out of their Southern and Northern borders. Bahraini's criticize "the Arabs" for not being able to control themselves on the weekends. I don't think I've found one country in the Middle East that considers themselves "Arab". But, if a Saudi isn't an Arab, then what the fuck is an Arab?

Let me help you and them: You're Arab if you:

1. have brown skin and
2. are Mulsim and
3. understand Arabic and
4. live in the Middle East

So Turks ARE Arabs. By what fucked definition are they not?

Technically, I think Arabs are iranians (in the sense of indo-europeans, not in the sense of, from Iran) and turks are . . . not. Altaic peoples.
