love in the time of ramadan

ahmed: "egyptian women, they are so arrogant, i mean.. its sexy. they just know that they have it, this thing its so-"
cem: "this thing?"
a: "yeah, this thing, yanni (egyptians say yanni a lot. roughly, it means "you know?") that european women and american women don't have. i mean, european women - they have more money, they can dress nicer but, you know, they don't have it."
c: "let me guess-"
a: "they are virgins, yanni, noone has taken them. they are pure."
c: "and so european and american women are all sluts right?"
a: "i mean, they don't take care of themselves, they get fucked all the time, its just so easy. and yanni, they really like egyptian men."
c: "haaahahahaha . .. egyptian men? bullshit. no, the stereotype is that arab men are crude, slimy, hairy, and sex obsessed in the 'states, that they have no respect for women, along with the whole terrorist/suicide bomber thing."
a: "yanni, lets not talk abut palestine and the jews agai-"
c: "oh, hell no we wont. - so european/American women are sluts."
a: 'look, i don't think this way, i have worked with international tourists for years, i know its a diferent culture. but to the men on the street that you see bothering all of the tourist women, they think that western women will just open their legs for them. they think that all western women just like to be fucking all the time. and you know that the egyptian women won't fuck them until they are ... have marriage, so they see on the TV brittany spears and these Sexy American movies, and they think that American and European women are just sluts. and you know, sometimes this is true. australians or americans fuck these guys after only a couple of hours in the bar."
c: "so then the guys go home and tell their friends."
a: "of course. this is the main way you are going to have sex before marriage here. have sex with a european. or an ethiopian or sudanese - they all like to fuck. or in some clubs there are many russian and philipino prostitutes."
c: "wait, wait, sudanese and ethiopian - black. philipino.. philipino. russian european american - white. rest - arab. so, all non-arab women are sluts?"'
a: "like i said, egyptian women have something."
c: "oh for fuck's sake-"
a: "what?"
c: "so you can go fuck around with foreign women all you want, and you are still going to marry a puuure virgin. and all your women are virgins, huh? and you have sex with lots of western and black women, and go home and tell your friends about it. america may be a superpower but - our women are all sluts, and futhermore, you've fucked them and they like arab men. is that what you think?
a: "well, its true. america is in power, yes, yanni but there is something wrong with the culture, its true. thats why you have all this gun violence and the racism-
c: "what the - racist? violence? yes, but, welcome to everywhere in the world, especially here - egypt is racist as hell - what dud you just tell me about women?"
a: "not like america, you have so many black people getting killed, yanni, its on the news. and you have all of these rapes. we dont have theives here, no raping."
c: ".. .except for non-arabs, who can get hustled and groped on the street, and whose women are all sluts, whatever the word slut means. and you have never been to america, fool. you just see the stupid articles in the newspapers (in places like china and the arab world, where america is a rival, they have special sections devoted to chronicleing just how racist/wierd/evil/violent life in America -Really- is, just like we have articles devoted to just how Wrong their lives are)"
a: "well, in america, the women, like i said, dont take care of themselves. in muslim mostly arab - countries they do."
c: " oh! finally! is this the one thing that the arab world has to offer the rest of the world aside from oil? virgin women?"
a: "yanni, calm down. look, we like to have pure women. yeah, i mean, its a different culture, this is important to us, our religion."
c: "your religion? were you chanting the Koran when you were humping that drug-addled russian prostitute? the book fit real good between her bruised up brea-"
a: "YANNI - its ramadan, you cannot say these things, we should not even be talking like this."
c: "ok, fine, ill shut up but you are a hypocrite. and to finish - i'd way rather marry a "slut" than a virgin. i don't even understand the word slut means?!"
a: "you'd rather marry a slut?"
c: "i mean, someone who ive had sex with. a lot. maybe not a russian ex-prostitute. i mean, how can you buy a house that you want to live for the rest of your life in without having at least had a look around? inside i mean. uh, i mean.."
a: "well, id like my bride pure"
c: "pure. ok. you want to marry a virgin."
a: "of course. i mean, its so SEXY, yanni!"
c: "whats so sexy about a bleeding vagina?"
a: "what?"
c: "you know, the first time, blood and everything."
a: "yanni.. thats disgusting. its ramadan."
c: "i'm just asking why you like that so much."
a: "KHALAS (finish) YANNI!"
c: "hahahahahaaha"
