“Arab Street Erupts in Rage Over Beheading Video

(2004-05-11) -- The so-called 'Arab Street' erupted in rage and grief today, as devoted Muslims crowded into public squares by the hundreds of thousands, in dozens of cities, to denounce the brutal videotaped beheading of American Nicholas Berg by Muslim extremists affiliated with Al Qaeda.

"This is an outrageous, disgusting and obscene act of evil done in the name of our peaceful religion and in our own backyard," said one unnamed Muslim cleric in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. "We mourn with Mr. Berg's family at this horrible loss. We renounce not only this act of violence, but all acts of terror."

The governments of all Arab League nations made a joint statement condemning the slaughter of Mr. Berg, and committing $100 billion toward the elimination of Al Qaeda and other Muslim terror groups.

"We pledge money, troops and intelligence resources in an all-out effort to end this scourge," the Arab league statement declared. "We apologize for our past failures to rein-in or arrest extremists in our ranks. As of today, we are turning the tables on the terrorists. Now, it's their turn to be afraid."

ScrappleFace”

“Yeah, that'll be the day.”

“WTF is the Arab street and why is every site i try to go to in reference to it (through google) get blocked by my work place?”

“its sad, but the arab league nations can say whatever they want; in many americans eyes they're ALL still scum.

the same way that bush can say whatever he wants; many arabs will still blame ALL americans for the A.G. prison attrocities.”

“oops, i just read that post again.

ehh, whatever.”

“Yeah, try searching in arabicnews.com for any mention of this by any arab nation,..nada.

or the dismemberment of the Israeli soldiers, .. nada

But when our soldiers do wrong it is headlines around the World.

This is not condoning what the prison guards did, but perhaps understanding it.”

“Moral relativism is running rampant among the war-backers.”

“Soooooooooooooo....no one else here knows what Arab Street is?”

I heard Rush compared it to a fraternity hazing.”

“You have the best links!”

“what a mess the war in Iraq has become.”

“Found this on justmorons.com :)

"Wissam S. Yafi, writing in the English-language version of the Aljazeerah website yesterday, put it this way: "does anyone in the Arab world truly know what the Arab street wants?" I'd phrase the question differently: "does anyone in the world truly know what the Arab street is?"

So when did American/European/Arab street phrase come into being???”
