The King of Saudi Arabia has offered to build the world's largest football stadium in Baghdad, Iraq, for free:

[According] to Arabnews.com, that is precisely what has happened to the Iraq football association, who this week, following their recent 4-1 friendly win over Saudi Arabia, have been afforded the opportunity to house a 135,000-seater stadium within Baghdad after King Salman offered to foot the bill.

"I have received a phone call from the King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdul Aziz", Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said.

"He hailed Iraqi's victory (in the friendly match between the two sides last week) and expressed his preparedness and commitment to expanding positive relations between Iraq and Saudi Arabia at different levels - economical, commercial, communal, cultural - at all levels that are of interest for the two countries.

"He also offered Saudi Arabia's contribution to build a main stadium in Iraq that accommodates 100,000 people. We have welcomed the initiative and it was proposed today to the Cabinet."

    All the human suffering and the only thought these knuckle draggers can think about is how to enjoy themselves. Hey, phony prince abdulla, get off your blond european whores and go build some homes and infrastructure for the people of Iraq.

    Even though the most extreme progressive would deny it to their dying breath, they cannot help but admit once they let down their guard in a fit of hate that the quintessential standard of beauty is the blonde haired, blue eyed European woman, even among "knuckle dragging" Arabs. An Arab "phony prince" would have his pick among Arab women, yet he is attracted to blonde women just like the rest of men on this planet. You can't blame him though. Rich European men don't go looking for smelly brown Arabs for their mates either, except for maybe pedophiles like Anthony Weiner.

    It's nice, LoRdTAW, that you agree with us other racists.

    Bullshit. Arab women are the most beautiful in the world. Keep your skinny sluts with no ass, no hips, and no melanin.

      You forgot the noses, dude. You love big nosed women, because they remind you of your camels. Beauty is in the nostril of the beholden, right?

      Is that why Arab men require their women to keep a bag over their heads and dress them in Hefty lawn-and-leaf bags?

        Yes. They would be raped on sight otherwise.

          That's not because they're inherently beautiful.

          That's because the superstitions their culture is sickened by are so deeply toxic.

      American here. I assure you, the large majority of our white women do indeed have asses and hips, and in fact extremely large ones. We're (in)famous for it, in fact.

      And if you really like melanin, we also have a minority population of women with much more melanin than Arab women, and they too (again, like most Americans) generally have very, very large posteriors.

      Here's a handy Google link for you [google.com], so you can behold some American women you'll surely find quite attractive.

      I like to think that here in Estonia we have an amalgum of the best of the Swedish (imperially), Finnish (ugri-mugri brothers), and Russian[*] (again, imperially) genes, but even I am consistently surprised how large a proportion of middle-eastern females are simply stunning - Lebanon in particular. The dark eyes and hair do it for me (don't let my g/f see my type that!).

      Sure, you may have seen "typical" middle easterners on the news or documentaries - but the chances are you're watching people who have had tough lives, that's what makes them interesting for the report, and they aren't going to be the most pampered or diet conscious of people to say the least. These kinds of socioeconomic differences show themselves in all countries. And the sample selection is hardly unbiased, as the US faces you see on US telly tend more to be the "beautiful people".

      [* Russia's huge and divers of course, the concept of a Russian gene stock is as fuzzy as that of a European gene stock]
