So True

What you have written is spot on. As a male, I don't "date" Arab men, but I've had several Arab Muslim "friends" and their behavior is exactly what you have pointed out.

Their behavior is actually very typical in psychopathic individuals. They say the right words at the right time, but will only do so when it benefits them. They can snap at any moment, they are your friend one minute but then your enemy the next. They are excellent manipulators, they look like they care but in reality they couldn't give a shit about you. They are brilliant actors, you said it perfectly. In some ways, they are even more two-faced than most Westerners I've known, and believe me, Westerners can be VERY fake-friendly.

Honesty is not of cultural importance to Arabs. Dignity and honor is. Nobody gives a shit about the truth if it hurts their feelings. Power is everything. Regardless of logic and reason, if you are more powerful than someone, you are right. That's how Arabs think. It is a primitive mindset indeed, but if you go to the Middle East, you'll notice it's the only way to survive. If he's feeling down, the Arab will attack you for no apparent reason. Very unpredictable individuals.

On the contrary, the advantages of their mindset is something I actually kind of admire. They are proud and nationalistic people. They never admit defeat, and even when all odds are against them, they convince themselves that they will win. They are true soldiers in their hearts, regardless of their actual success or failure on the battlefield. Unlike the weakness and flabbiness of Westerners, who hate their own culture and let everyone walk all over them, Arabs' culture has been spit on and attacked several times by outsiders, yet they still value themselves like never before.

Mark my word, the Arabs will rule the world because they have the will. They don't give a shit what you think about them or their ways, while you're busy complaining, they'll be busy conquering. You don't mess with a people who cut off heads when someone criticizes them. It is survival of the strongest, not of the most civilized.
