Re: How did Sana Shah become Dina Shatz?

Actually, I didn't intend to mix the two of them... That is, I didn't mean that Sana Shah and Dina Shatz are interchangeable. Therefore, the imaginery Dina Shatz is not some kind of ugly metamorphosis of that cute little Pakistani girl. There's no connection between the two. The fact is that the TIME article, somehow, casts Miss Shah as the archetype of wannabe modern Arab/Muslim teens --torn between the West's "progressive" values and her "backward" environment. So, I felt that a correction must be done, and I edited the whole article so as to cast an Israeli archetype. Of course, my archetype for the average Israeli teen is not the one that's gonna be advertised in TIME magazine --Oh no! Every Israeli kid, according to the Zionists' bootlicking hacks, is a paragon of tolerance, anti-racism, freedom-loving and US-mindedness... I guess I successfully debunked that crap (at least in the second version posted on the Middle East thread).
