ISLAMIC PROPAGANDA
written by Guest, August 17, 2005

IS THIS ANOTHER ISLAMIC PROPAGANDA SPONSORED BY ARAB TERRORISTS?

OR JUST ANOTHER STUPID ARTICLE WRITTEN BY A USEFUL BRAZILIAN IDIOT?
Excellent Article

It is only natural why we Brazlian sfeel connected to the Arab people. Everything from their food, habits, look, etc. We are lucky to have this influence in our language.
Interesting

Never knew. I think I want to learn Arabic now.

I knew when I was reading this article that the first comment would be from some knucklehead. There it is! Yes, pointing out the contribution of Arabic to language is "Islamic propaganda sponsored by Arab terrorists." That makes perfect sense…to a complete moron.
Excellent Article!

A good, decent and honest people. Their contribution to the Brasilian society has always been a positive and tangible one.

Brazilian is a password!
written by Guest, August 17, 2005
For some reasons the Brazilians are among the most respected nations among the Arabs. (Brazilian) could be a password for a person to get better welcome in 22 Arabian countries.
Paulo Coelho and Amado (which itself is an Arabic name) are significantly admired by surprising numbers!

Mostly because they were Arab Christians.

A very good article

Intresting to read about all this!Compliments!! It is though very sad to read these very intelligent and racistic post about arabs.I am so tired and feed up with this s**t talk that Arabs are terrorists.
Re: A very good article
written by Guest, August 17, 2005
Although I am not an Arab or even an Arab descendent, I have friends and relatives who are Arabs.

Any racism or any other type of bigotry against them is irrational and dumb. Sure, some Arabs are terrorists. Some Jews are terrorists, some Brazilians are terrorists (Favelas’ drug dealers), some Americans are terrorists (bombing of the Federal Building in Okalahoma city, for example or the Unabomber), etc. What should we do then?

It is already very sad that a Brazilian was killed idiotically in London because of this irrational way of profiling people.

A Brazilian

PS: I checked the origin of the word "tanque", for example.

[Partly from Gujarati tnkh, cistern (from Sanskrit taga, pond, perhaps of Dravidian origin), and partly from Portuguese tanque, reservoir (variant of estanque, from estancar, to dam up, from Vulgar Latin *stanticre. See stanch1).]

Gujarati - A language from West Coast of India.

Think about it. What religion are most Brazilian Arabs? Certainly not Muslims. Anyone who denies this is dillusional. If the Muslims were really that good to their Christian Arab "brothers", they never would have moved to countries like Brazil.
Posts above-good points

Have to agree with the persons above.Intresting post about the languages..Peace.

Robbery learned early
written by Guest, August 20, 2005
Much like keol has always been Arabic for transvestite, the Brazilians learned early through the Arab's how to rape pilage and steal. An art to which they remain masters. Osama Bin laden, possibly translated into Brazilian meaning, "f**k my ass like the goat you want to be".
RE Robbery learned early
written by Guest, August 20, 2005
Guess that it is an American or pro-American that wrote post above. Maybe you should go to Brazil to know how the Brazilians are before you consider yourself as an expert! Americans will always be considered as very stupid and ugly by many other people
Viva Brazil

Those of you that don't like Brazil f**k ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Americans are thives number 1 in the world!
Hey Brazilian Dildo, try a dictionary!
written by Guest, August 21, 2005
But of course we Americans love Brazil, your country of beauty and safety. We like to f**k your p**as, we like to tell your women that they will return with us so we can f**k them in the ass. We like your cheap cocaine, but those are very minor reasons for loving Brazil. It is easy to love your health care, the advanced medicine. The clean air. The sanitation. The clean drinking water. The lack of polution.The low murder rate. The beautiful streets and ambiance provided by the tourist meca's of Rio and SaoPaulo. The helpful police. The honesty. Did I mention the helpful police? So, what is not to like about Brazil. Did I mention the abundance of p**a's?
Hey American Dildo, try to be sanitary!
written by Guest, August 21, 2005
But of course we Brasilians hate the US, your country of puke and vanity. We like to f**k your sluts, we like to tell your women that they will return with us so we can f**k them in the ass. We like your cheap firearms, but those are very minor reasons for loving the US. It is easy to love your healthy hair, the advanced cocaine. The dirty air. The vaccination. The clean drinking booze. The lack of inclusion. The high murder rate. The beautiful streets and ambiance provided by the tourist meca's of Detroit and Cleveland. The powerful police. The dishonesty. Did I mention the powerful police? So, what is not to like about USA. Did I mention the abundance of sluts?
USA,one of the biggest humen right viola

brazil has many problems but they don't clame to be the haven on earth, unlike america.
america was built on oppression, killing of native and slavery and now it existed on oppressing other nation and it's people, americans are murderers, first they kill each other during their civil war after that they start going around the world and murdering people (japan,vietnam,panam,chile.....)ofcourse they had a reason, so does hitler and stalin, every murderer has a reason to justify his act.
RE: USA,one of......
written by Guest, August 21, 2005
You couldnt be more right about America!! 10 points to the post you wrote!

written by La Dominadora, September 02, 2005
Both Brazil and America and the rest of the Americas was founded on the killing of the native population, the brutal centuries long enslavement of the Africans and when slavery was over they were discarded to fend for themselves the best way they could in a hostile and racist society.

However, America went on to build the atomic bomb and decided to take over the world murdering and killing everywhere she went as she is now doing in Iraq. The murder rate in America would be just as high if not higher than Brazils it's just that the Americans go all over the world kicking butt. All of the European nations have tried to take over and dominate the globe it's just that the Anglo-Saxons learned how to dominate even his European brothers in murder and mayhem.

great article!
light, fun, informing....being a brazilian born, american citizen and half blood lebanese, it is a delight to read articles like this!

I mean what has murder, p**as, pollution etc got to do with this article. I mean hey like it or not yes the arabs have a major infleunce on brazil, food, looks, music, culture etc... There are over 9 million arabs living in brazil today of which the vast majority are highly successful people who have contributed significantly to the economy. The arbs have historically contributed massively, medicine, astronomy, maths. If im an arab descdent i wiil be proud, afterall they are a very good looking race, possbly thats why we brazilians tend to be good looking.

You racist sexist Euro-centric prick:
Why the f**k are you even on this website reading about another country's language and culture?
And after you had your little ignorant ass rant about Brazil, did you feel like a big bad ass American man? Did that help you convince...yourself that the US is the f**king greatest country in the world? Are you f**king proud to be an American? GREAT! Good for you...you ignorant white f**k.

In fact, reading most of these comments we can see what goes in peoples's minds. Hate and non-tolerance. It is a well known fact that when the europeans arrived in America, as well as in Africa, the continents were already populated by their indigenous semi savage people, which lived in a very primitive state.It is however a bit too late to denounce that now.The whites and arabes living in those countries should be treated as tolerated settlers who have greatly contributed to the development of those countries and, if we put the two devils on the scale ocuppation/non-occupation, we are bound to accept that the original settlers brought in civilisation and know how, and established the borders as hey are today.

One can not ignore that America would not be where it is today,if they had not brought in the Jewish people from Germany.The America's big brains are Jewish.Like it or not.

Another clear example is the state of Africa nowadays. A rich continent which was at some stage the world basket under colonial governments, is today the shame of the world run by ignorant local dictators, who sorround themselves with loyal bouncers/armies to keep them in power and the population is living far worse now than they were under colonial management.

The evident hate against the USA, is obviously a result of their expansionism policies under the name of human rights(he new name of petrol). If there is no petrol, there are no human rights. It does not work like that!....and, due to these failed policies, the world is already waking up and do not tolerate them anymore.Hence the reason why they are targets for the biggest terrorist attacks.The days of the American empire have been accounted for and, whether we like it or not, it is time to start learning some Chinese. They are coming in force with everything, including dollars.

Good luck everybody
