There's a whole world out there, with all kinds of different stuff. And not all of it wants to kill you.
It’s important, in any war (even one as jingoistically fuelled as the War on Terrorism) to Know Your Enemy. Or, perhaps more importantly, know who isn’t your enemy. You know, so you don’t go around shooting them or calling them names and pissing them off to no end. So if you live in an area with an Arabic-descent population of more than two (which would include just about every urban area in both the US and Canada), it behooves you to learn about turbans. And kaffiyehs.
Relax, it’s easier than setting the clock on your VCR. And unlike that example, if you don’t learn every detail in a few days, you won’t have the numbers
blinking on your forehead to stigmatise you to friends and family and especially that snotty nine-year-old from next door.
