This is not what is being said guys.
I still recognize some arabic words and phrases and they were not in the subtitles.
Pretty damn funny though.
The arabic word for daughter sounds like bidt-nat (or fitahing for my girl)(I think)... Its not in the bicep clip... a few others as well as I noticed.
Btw climate change very well could be our biggest military threat. Starving people in droughts with armies... they fight. Thats what history says.

It has been edited and the subtitles are incorrect.
The poster of the video even says as much in the comments.

I must admit I find it fascinating that so many people commenting here are voicing their outrage at my editing of the subtitles in this clip from MEMRI. For those that don't know who they are...........they are an invaluable site that documents and translates much of what goes on in Middle East media. This clip was from their site.
Every day they post videos with leading Islamic figures and personalities making hideous statements about Jews and Christians. About killing gays and beating women. I wonder how many of those outraged by my use of the clip in this way are equally outraged by the real sentiments expressed on these program's?

Considering the name of the account, iphoneconservative, this was a made-up clip to get the anti-Obama crowd outraged about nothing.
We already know they aren't really conservative, but at least we know they are gullible.
The institute was co-founded in 1998 by Yigal Carmon, a former Israeli military intelligence officer and Meyrav Wurmser, an Israeli-born American political scientist. MEMRI states that its goal is to "bridge the language gap between the Middle East and the West".[2] Critics charge that it aims to portray the Arab and Muslim world in a negative light, through the production and dissemination of inaccurate translations and by selectively translating views of extremists while deemphasizing or ignoring mainstream opinions.

My apologies.
I'm very keen on propaganda and this is par for the course for the anti-Obama folks. The worst part is, many of my fellow members fell for it.
Even if they suspected it may be false, they still enjoyed it because the clip confirmed their personal political bias.
Deny ignorance indeed.

I understand what you're saying. Can i ask you a question?
Which one of the subtitles do you not agree with? Whether superimposed or not? In your opinion?

Very interesting indeed.
Care to expand on your thoughts about this?
Climate change being the number one national security issue facing the USA with all the other stuff happening in the world (in real time) is laughable and probably all part of some far off agenda that must be taxed and controlled today..
