Hahaha. That is why I use Bahraini and not “Arab.”
“I’m from Bahrain. It’s a nice island! We are cute there! Harmless!”
And then of course you get the typical reaction…
“What the hell is a Bahraini?!”
I see that the movie “300″ has made Ahmadinejad and his pals very upset
It portrays the heroic endeavours of 300 Spartans, under King Leonidas, who resist an invading force of 120,000 Persians led by Emperor Xerxes.
The Iranian government spokesman, Gholamhossein Elham, told reporters: “Such a fabrication of culture and insult to people is not acceptable by any nation or government. [Iran] considers it as hostile behaviour which is the result of cultural and psychological warfare.”

G,
You can see a review of the Iranian bloggers’ reaction to the movie in my blog.
Just a test.
HaHa! this one’s hilarious! I guess this guy and a bunch of Arab American did a movie lately, I can’t remember its name though!
Yeah, it’s called the Axis of Evil comedy tour or something. Awesome stuff.
Esra’a
In this video or somewhere else Maz says they couldn’t find a North Korean so they used a South Korean instead. He says, I don’t know anyone from NK except for the Kim whatever.
Schpiecking of the 300, and 300 good Spartans resisting 120,000 Persian army:
I am all for the underdog’s winning. This film was not an insult to the Iranians. Au contrair, this was a metaphore of how we Persians are going to kick the AMerican ass, should they attack us!
This is how ANY big empire’s ass is kicked!
And Persians had a just king, the author of the first charter of rights … imaging what’s gonna happen to George bush the abolisher of the charter of rights … Whooohaaaaa
