Cairo, Egypt-AP -- Overseas, there's angry reaction from Arabs and Muslims to a U-S plan to fingerprint and photograph visitors from Middle Eastern and Islamic countries.

The feeling is that both groups are being unfairly targeted because of September eleventh.

A Kuwaiti political scientist says, "America already has a very bad reputation in the Arab world." He says the move will add to the feeling that the U-S is anti-Arab.

An official of the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights agrees, saying such procedures won't prevent terror operations against America -- but will fuel Arab hatred toward U-S policies.

But not all Arabs are critical. One Egyptian accountant thinks it's fair, saying, "They have the right to protect their country against whoever they think would be harmful."

Never ask why but only the value of.

    If they have nothing to hide, what are they worrying about? They are the ones who brought on this problem. They are the ones who seem to be condoning these attacks. Why don't they do something about it?

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, If they don't like it they should stay home. Personally I think we should require a fingerprinted passport from any foreighnor entering our country. They are not U.S. citizens and should not be afforded the same priveleges as such. Also I was watching Hannity and Combs last night and they were talking about giving illegal aliens valid drivers licenses, This is absurd. The government should declare an amnesty day for all illegals to come to there local police depts and recieve there free green cards. Upon there arrival they should be loaded into tractor trailors and be deported. We should then spend as much money as is necessary to stop the illegals from re-entering our country. Ive heard people say, let them come, they only do the jobs nobody else wants. That is a bunch if *, and I for one am sick and tired of people who dont even speak ENGLISH working in the public service fields. Hello bl bl blaa bl bl bl blaaaa. AAHHHHHHH. 1 2 3 4
    ok, im calm now venting is good for the soul....

    If they don't like our rules, then stay out of our country. Or is that to simple for these idiots.
    For instance if I don't like wiping my behind with my bare hand, I would stay out of their country. Besides I have seen enough sand to last a lifetime.

    Let's see, the vermin that carried out the terrorist attacks against US targets here and overseas were what, aboriginal Australians? Cambodian refugees? Christian evangelicals from Tampa? Norwegian ski instructors? Russian Jews? No, come to think of it, they were all natives of Islamic / Arabic countries. Too bad, so sad, line up over there and have your prints & pictures taken. Don't like it? Stay home; no one here will miss you.

    "It will cause them to hate us more." How's that possible? Yeah...right...they hate us so much that they come here to be educated in our "infidel" colleges and universities. "Oh, I want to come to America to learn to be a doctor/lawyer/other professional. Then I'll go back to my country to help my people." Go through the yellow pages...look under "Physicians and Surgeons" and "Lawyers". Count the number of Arabic names. Somehow, most of them forget to go home.

    Mudge the fed up

    ps....I sure most of us lay awake worrying about the fact that they hate us. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    Yes, I believe they wipe with their left hand and wipe it in the sand. So, unless you want to really tic on off, only offer your right hand to shake hands.

    4God, the cultural taboo about using the left hand to gesture or eat is present in many societies, not just the Muslim ones, and for the same reason. Toilet paper is a relatively new luxury on this earth and like Novacaine, one the greatly underappreciated ones!
