The funny people at The Onion introduce us to “Scott Gentries”, a man who Already Knows Everything He Needs To Know About Muslims:
Gentries, 48, said he had absolutely no interest in exposing himself to further knowledge of Islamic civilization or putting his sweeping opinions into a broader context of any kind, and confirmed he was “perfectly happy” to make a handful of emotionally charged words the basis of his mistrust toward all members of the world’s second-largest religion.
Funny if it weren’t so common. Rarely have the fictional characters of the Onion sounded so real.
Hello, my name is Mustapha and I've been blogging about Lebanese society, business and politics since February 2005.
Hah, my friend linked me to that a few days ago. It’s so funny because sadly, it’s 100% true for most Americans.
I wouldn’t say “most” Americans because that makes me equally unwilling to learn about America and Americans. I would use the word “many” instead.
thank you, mustapha, for the original post and for this comment. yes riham, do you already know everything you need to know about americans?
