Such were the words of Izzat Ibrahim, vice-chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Council at yesterday's Islamic Summit Conference
to a Kuwaiti ambassador.

Clearly not much unity in evidence there, then. But my point today is not on peace in the Middle East. No no, it's all about Arabic Insults. I had heard in the past that the Arabs "do" insults very well, and this just goes to show!

My favourite so far, however, was in his conclusion:

“A curse on your moustache”

challenging the manly honour of the Kuwaiti's.
