and abed ,,, to rephrase your sentence … they are not Arab Americans … they’re arabs living ON (not IN) US lands … in Houston most proably where i think only 10 % can speak english … ABSURD
Just because 10 % of Arab American don’t speak English according to your wits,that does not make them of not speaking english “absurd”.
So Isam,,if you don’t speak Arabic or English in Jordan, thast doas not constitute absurdity ,is it not?
We are talking about Arabs who live in the states and can’t speak the language , ain’t we ? I want you to think … if someone lives in the USA and can’t speak english … he must be a doctor … or no no wait … a big shot lawyer or a CEO of a major company right ??? you think i mocked them because they are villagers and speak with the dialect that my father and his father speaks in … thats not the case … i mocked them because they immigrated and lived in arab ghettos where its like the arab world in the 70s … and when they come visit jordan they feed you up with what-is-this-jordan-it-sucks shit …
i think i made my point … many thanks for abed for hosting the show

hey hey, cool down man !! I’m an Arab, and my English is below average! I was obviously joking, please don’t take it personally!
I’m a peasant, and people of my village do speak with “ch”. It’s very probably that they pronounce America as Amaircha and AmreechYa
