It's hard to generalize. They're mostly people the same as everyone else. Some good and some bad. There does seem to be a lot of anger among them though. I mean people in the Middle East are always taking up the chant, "Death to America, Death to the West!" Not that it's every Arab, but still a lot of them are.

You are a person just like everyone else. Are you asking this question because you worry that people will judge you because you are Arabic? Personally, I think you are a 13 year old boy. I wouldn't judge you because of your religion or nationality. People will be assholes, but not everyone will make nasty assumptions.

Im a 13 y/o too and I think arabs just get a bad rap from some people. But that can also be said for blacks too. I guess it just matters what your experiences are! I haven't had any bad experiences so they are just like regular people to me.

I think that most people are just folks. People who want to improve their children's lives and take care of the planet. There are a few Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Jews who are just plain crazy. They are the problem folks. You will mostly find them running government or religious institutions.
That's not to say you won't run into common every day ignorance, but most people are sane and reasonable and won't hate you because of your name or religion.
If you mean the Saudi government, they are dangerously deluded and extremely wealthy - they purchased 2 American Presidencies.

I like the food a lot. The language is hard to learn. I tried. THe people tend to be friendly once they feel comfortable around you. (don't know about everywhere, talking about Jerusalem) Older people are very hospitable. I think they wear their jeans too tight.
Oh and its hard to get used to how they raise their voice in normal conversation if your from a place where people only do it if they're angry.
Like the tea with the mint leaves floating in it, sheshbesh is fun. The hookahs are fun.

Why is this question in the alternative lifestyle section? Did I answer with a question? Is that another question?! Maybe this is the appropriate section. If you're seeking approval, you should probably seek elsewhere. But why are you seeking approval to begin with? Damnit, another question. Apologies.
Whatever egregious negatives anyone says will likely be the provincial garbage wrought by redneck stereotypes. Whatever glowing positive anyone says is likely dogmatically self-glorifying and not worth a penny's credence. You're a human, that's the important thing.

I love the food. Schwarma and Hulumi are very tasty indeed. I like the customs and politeness of the Arab culture. Fascinating people really. I certainly dont see all Arabs and Muslims(correct spelling), as terrorists. I see them as people.

I don't think you should be posting your age and gender on Yahoo . You need to go to delete this question and repost on a general cultures and groups. While you are at it, take your age off your profile as well. Did you not see the report on internet predators?
btw, your question is too broad to answer. I do think that just like any given population in any geographic area, there is a wide variey of beliefs and attitudes, some I would agree with, and some I would not. So I guess I feel that they are, well, people. They have the same human desires as we all do. e.g. They want peace and safety for their children and themselves. They want health, prosperity and contentment.
Now, please be safe and get your age off your profile!! - dd
