Funny/scary thing is in college I hung out with a bunch of middle eastern people. NICEST guys I've ever known, all stand up solid cool people. But, its' funny thinking of the connection. I lived in a house called the Embassy at the school. We had a guy from the Congo, guy from Kazakhstan, 2 Guys from Morocco, a dozen from Saudi Arabia and a few from places around that. The school was big on Petroleum engineering so lots of people from that area. My nickname... Abuslaman (phonetically, I couldn't spell it right), because I had a big beard and reminded them of their religious leaders
. Tried to learn some arabic, but my mouth simply can't do that. Still yet to meet an Islamic person my age that wasn't one of my favorite people I've ever met, just all so nice and genuine.
