Chris Hedges, your Arabic sucks

Just shut the hell up until you actually learn some. And stop making shit up about your Middle Eastern adventures. 

Here's my suggested reading to you and every other wannabe orientalist:

The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

The Koran

The 1,001 Nights

The Prophet

Wanna prove I'm lying? Take a DLPT and see if you can score 2/2 or above. 

Hell, if you're pressed for time, just watch Disney's Aladdin in Spanish, another language you don't speak.

The only people I hate more than cowards are liars.
