Is the Sheik supposed to be some Borat wannabe or something?

I’m trying to figure out if he’s just another typical Leftist troll.

That should have been “those who’ve frgotten their own faiths”. Sorry.

For someone in this position, such ignorance is inexcusable. John and Jane Doe may not know the difference between Shiites and Sunnis, but they aren’t being paid to direct the national security branch of the FBI.

I have read that – prior to the invasion of Iraq – Bush was being briefed on the historical tensions between Shiites and Sunnis. Acoording to the breifer, Bush became increasingly restless (ADD?) and though he never came right out and asked, the briefer strongly suspected that the President had no idea what Sunnis and Shiites were.

Great! Gee, I wonder how we got into this mess. Oh well, Shiite, Sunni, Summeria, Shiva . . . I guess it’ll all work out.

It does seem that knowledge (or lack) of the Sunnis/Shiites is something that John and Jane Doe do not know either. I guess, he reflects his subjects knowledge levels. And, in a similar way his upward reporting structure that give him his barking orders. Someway or another, in my world of business, we know our competitors and customers because we lose business otherwise. My only consolation is that, I think, the bad ones do not know the difference between our very own moderate/fundamentalist/evangelical Christians either. Anyhow, it does seem strange that the common platform of prophets such as Abraham, Moses etc. are all shared by what we call Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Does he even know that? Oh, I forget, he is a mere mortal anyhow.
