Arabs - who are they? Truth and delusions (English version)

1. All arabs are muslims. That is not true, about 5% are Cristians.
2. Arabs are the laziest nation. True, they love to sleep a lot and little to do.But the hot weather could be as explanation and reason. 
3.  All arabs have several wives. But actually polygamy cases are very rare.Every man would think 100 times before make a decision to marry the second time. It will hit his pocket and hurt the heart of the first wife. 
4. Women are necessarily wear hijab. This is also applied for the "ejnebi"(foreigners) who come to live here. This is not true, some women prefer not to wear hijab.
5. Arabs- are africans Their skin is black. May be you will be suprised but there you can meet blonds with light eyes. But in general they look like the people here (Caucasus men).
6. Arabs are bedouins and Jordan is a big desert. Now so many tourism copmanies offer this direction, so many Azerbaijans had already discovered the Jordan. Hopefully, no need to explain that Jordan is civilized country. The bedouins(not the whole population) have their special lifestyle, follow the own traditions.
7.  Arabs are terrorists. On the contrary, they are very peaceful. Even more than we are. Many foreigners after visiting the country for the first time, decided to stay and work here, travel throught the country,visit bedouins.
8. Arabs have many children. Right, espicially the old generation. Now, families try to plan childbearing.
9.  Arabs are brawlers. When I heard for the first time shouting and emotional conversation between two drivers, I thought there will be a fight, But in fact there were sharing the news and amiably talking. They love to talk loudly, at first it is confusing, but after a while you become used to it.
10. All arabs are swindlers,gigolo and cheaters. May be at souvenir shops they could sell you goods for the price higher than the real cost, but not more than this. This is normal for any tourist places Worldwide.Cheaters and gigalos are common in Egypt and Morrocco. So be careful!

My topic related to Jordan , how I see it, will be continued. Only actual, real and exclusive information.
