Muhammad Hassan's music interrupts her. He's in his ring gear! Khosrow Daivari seconds him, wearing a suit.
She says she wasn't even finished. Khosrow steals the mic forcibly and yells something, motioning for Stacy to leave. Hassan has a wry smile. Khosrow introduces Muhammad Hassan! Hassan gets the mic. "Y'know, I guess that I don't find this as surprising as I find it disgusting. In a country that is a den of lies, in a cesspool of hypocrisy, you put on this facade of holiday cheer and goodwill towards all men. But in reality, America does not wish goodwill towards all men, only those that they see fit to give it to. And right now, especially right now, that does not include my Arab brothers. These are just my personal beliefs, people. These are all indisputable, cold hard facts." A Cornell study shows that half of all Americans believe that all Arab Americans should have their civil liberties limited - the same civil liberties guaranteed to every human being under the US Constitution. LIMITED! And not just because they've done anything wrong, any crimes - simply because they are of Arab descent. This gets big boos. "Don't listen to me, people. You can find out for yourself right now. Go to news.cornell.edu and you can see the truth for yourselves. And the truth is that deep down inside your hearts, every single one of you is prejudiced! And the truth is that deep down, none of you have the guts to admit it to yourselves! And if you people don't open your eyes" - LOUD USA chant, which our audience thinks is supposed to be taunting him - "and if you people DO NOT open your eyes and see what you're doing to my Arab brothers, to me, TO ME, then my new year's resolution will be to personally beat some sense into America!"
At the top of the ramp, Khosrow, in English, says that infidels like JR & King (the good ol' boys) are what's wrong with America, because they preach their prejudiced propaganda to an audience of millions. King says he's heard just enough, and threatens to propaganda their faces with his fist.
Muhammad Hassan barges in to complain about the impersonators who pose as announcers who spew anti-Arab-American propaganda to the TV audience every week. Hassan wants King and JR in a tag match so they can pay for their backwards thinking. Bischoff isn't going in for that, but he offers them a debate. And he says he has to go talk to his special guest. Hassan is sort of apprehensive about the debate (show's at Nassau, though - not in the south), but Khosrow says something and points to his head, indicating that it's probably a devious, smart plan.
Arab-American Debate: Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross vs. Mohammed Hassan & Khosrow Daivari.
I kind of dig Hassan's Enigma-lite music. I'll be happy if Lawler and Ross wind up buried under an Iraqi flag.
First question: Do you feel Arab-Americans have been unfairly persecuted since 9/11?
Hassan (in summary): America is a racist nation. Founded on slavery. People aren't even polite anymore. 9/11 gave Americans an excuse to show their true feelings. [crowd chants U.S.A.] If Mohammed and Khosrow went to Times Square to celebrate New Year's Eve, they would have been searched. Arrogance and Intolerance are why America is the world's most hated nation and why we deserve it.
Lawler: Racism exists everywhere, not just in America. He has no problem with Hassan expressing his anger at being discriminated against. Lawler says he has a problem with Hassan denigrating the troops. People don't hate Hassan because he's an Arab-American, they hate him because he's a loud-mouthed jackass.
Hassan: Most Arab-Americans make him sick because the sit back and take it. [Notices JR shaking his head.] Hassan says it makes JR sick that Hassan is just as American as apple pie and the Oklahoma Sooners. JR talks a tough game behind Hassan's back, but not when they're face-to-face.
HOT TAG TO JR!
Jim Ross: No country is perfect. Love it or - by Gawd- leave it.
That causes Hassan to flip out and take a swipe at JR. Lawler tries to make the save. Daivari jumps on Lawler's back so Hassan can cheapshot him. Hassan chokes Jim Ross out with his belt. Lawler tries to make the save, but he's pretty meek. Hassan and Daivari walk back up the ramp, taunting the crowd. This is SO Mid-South - except they didn't have Jim Duggan running down to make the save.
I'm going to go ahead and give the clear win to Daivari and Hassan here. Ross had to rely on the trite "love it er gyet out!" axiom. Oh, and Ross and Lawler got their asses kicked. That's another mark in Hassan's column. I'm hoping for the same thing to happen in the 2008 Presidential Debate.
