no the idea was to not offend arabs we would be working with. we were not there to hurt or offend non-hostile muslims or arabs. and if we offended them we could not work effectively with them. even then we knew that to hold the peace we would need the full cooperation, trust and respect of the populace to the best extent possible.

In an online blog Omar Hussain, a former security guard at Morrison’s supermarket who previously lived in High Wycombe, also said other jihadists invade his space, talk loudly when he is trying to sleep and behave like children.
Anyone dumb enough to join ISIS deserves much more than their shoes being stolen and being kept up at night by loud conversations, but I'll take what I can get!

Because the post is offensive. You can also say it's politically incorrect if you want to play political games but political games are not for me. If he truly believes every Arab in the Middle East behaves that way then he embraces ignorance. I would advise him to study up on Middle Eastern cultures but I'm sure he's already got an idea and chooses to paint Arabs as he sees fit.
