I was forced to watch two beheadings as a child — at gunpoint. My best friend was seized and had his head shaved for ‘mocking’ a mullah, which he did not do.

It is a violently primitive culture, and the modern makeup smeared across its face does not fool me.

I love Arabs, and I love their food. Their insecure religion smacks of 15th century Christianity.
