When Tupelo, Mississippi Meets Orientalist Fantasy

Abu Muqawama went in search of more information on the strikes in Egypt (look here, here, and here) and instead, on Elijah's blog, he found “Elvis, a thieving midget, dancing girls, and an Oriental souq.” Enjoy.

Oh for the days when we Arabs could be stereotyped by a thieving midget, dancing girls, and an Oriental souq.

How is Abu M's Arabic these days? I have the dubious honor of having three of my friends listed on the blog you mentioned as arrested in the round-ups. When I was downtown in Cairo earlier, State Security is still out in force. I hope NYT continues to cover the riots/local elections/MB boycott.

Abu Muqawama said...

My Arabic works, why? Do you need me to look up something?

Ken said...

Public diplamacy in action. What's needed in downtown Baghdad is a brigade of tambourine wielding Elvises.

Michael said...

It's good to be the King... or is that Rais Ali Baba?

Aaron said...

Hah, no I am good. I was just curious...I figured you spoke Arabic but I don't think its come up in the blog.

Excellent blogging, btw, I am an avid reader (like multiple times a day avid...sorry for the bandwith drain)
