Arab Styling With a Swastika

He just forgot that Aryan does not include Egyptians.

1 Actually, there were Arian Egyptians at one point. Arius himself was a presbyter in Alexandria, and he had a large following in Egypt, though he was himself of Libyan anscestry. The Arian movement was eventually supressed, though it has popped up now and again throughout Christian history. So there isn't much of a problem with an Egyptian Arian, though both the Muslims and Copts would likely be pretty upset. I guess there's a problem after all -- but nothing a couple strokes of a knife couldn't solve. I think you meant "Aryan," which is the source ethnicity for Indians, Iranians (Iran actually MEANS "Land of the Aryans"), and other eastern Indo-European descended nationalities. Ironically enough, Gypsies (who actually ARE Aryan) were being killed by Germans (who are and were not Aryan by any stretch) in the name of "Aryan" blood-purity. Just another way (among many) that Hitler was wrong. Of course, the issue Hitler had with the Jews was racially derived, and extended to the closest ethnicities to the Jews -- in other words the Arabs. So any Arab who praises Hitler is a complete moron.

2 It's the same kind of stupidity that leads people in the west to believe that jihadis only hate the Jews, thus it's trendy to drape oneself in a Palestinian flag or that arab head dress that comes in a variety of picnic table styles (whatever the hell that thing's called).

4 It's a Keffiya, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who is stuck in a dusty-ass, dry, God-forsaken desert where the camels spend the day either trying to eat your hair or spit in your face. It's also good for intense yard-work in the summer, especially if you wrap the ends around your face splodydope-style to keep the dust and pollen out of your mouth. Outside of that, it ends up looking pretty stupid. Too bad the splodies don't understand they don't need help with the whole "looking stupid" thing. That, they've got down solid.

5 Actually ABOLK, all Indo-Europeans are related to the Aryans, even the Germans.

6 Well, yeah, all Aryans are Indo-Europeans, but not all Indo-Europeans are Aryans. It's like saying Californians are Floridians, simply because both are Americans. And as a Floridian I find that concept deeply insulting.
