City: Beirut, LBState:
"If she were an Arab, she`d be dead." What an stupid statement. What do you know about "Arabs" and why do you feel the need to lump millions into one generalization? Have you ever bothered to meet an "Arab"? Or do you think we`re all Saudi wahabis, or all of our families commit honor crimes?

Ever heard of Haifa Wehbe and see how she parades around? And she`s a Shia from southern Lebanon, gasp. She seems to be alive and well without threats from even Hizbullah. Ever heard of Dana? Our crappy singers parade around half naked every day and yet, somehow they`re "Arab" and still alive. Say it ain`t so.

There are lots of beautiful women in the Middle East, including Bar Refaeli, and I celebrate all of them. Too bad people like you ruin that sentiment with your ignorance.
