Reader comment on item: Middle Eastern Political Candor

Submitted by Mahendra Mathur (Trinidad And Tobago), Apr 15, 2008 at 21:12

I am not at all surprised at the candor of Prince Hassan. After all even a verse of Quran (quoted below) describes Arabs in very derogatory terms.

[9:97] The Arabs are the worst in disbelief and hypocrisy, and the most likely to ignore the laws that GOD has revealed to His messenger. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise. [9:98] Some Arabs consider their spending (in the cause of God) to be a loss, and even wait in anticipation that a disaster may hit you. It is they who will incur the worst disaster. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient.
