Not everyone who is Arab is a terrorist, but everyone who was a terrorist on 9/11 was Arabic... so referring to the 9/11 terrorists as "camel loving friends" would be an accurate description; accurate in the sense of their background, and accurate in the sense that it carries a demeaning connotation. Do you think we should refer to them as, "those nice Arabic men who killed thousands of people"? Of course not. Never once did anyone here direct a negative comment toward the Arabic community. It was all directed at the terrorists themselves, which it should.

Enough of that - what was the ACTUAL subject of this thread? State of the Regional market? Discuss....
