Erik Erikson at the Burger King
While “the rhythm of a hip-hop song replete with obscenities” might seem innocuous enough to you or me, it’s bound to raise some hackles when its strains emanate from an Iftar tent at a Burger King in the Arabian Gulf.
“Failure to fulfill the growth requirements . . . ultimately leads to an identity crisis,” Baroud writes.
He continues: The current strategy of hosting fancy yet unproductive conferences with beautiful buffets and generous honoraria is as empty an answer as blindly pinning the blame on an overgeneralized foe. (Gulfreporter has scarfed plenty of free food from those same buffets, and we can tell you that all they’ve produced in us is a feeling of sleepiness.)”
A nice entry on the Gulfreporter on….yes well on what? On Burger King, hiphop, identity crises, aha yes there we are:
“But here’s the real danger: It is uncertain which developmental stage Arab nations find themselves in today. But if this current identity predicament is left untreated, then the subsequent desperation, alienation and extremism we now witness may become the reprehensible norm, rather than the exception.”
