"You are huh? Why didnt you answer? You were in the toilet? You dirty Arabs! We build spotless sweet-smelling toilets and you fill them with shit!" p.11

This perspective is from the soldiers.  They assume that all of the Arabs are dirty and filthy swine.  This is wrong because they are attacking them because they believe what their stereotypical image is or might be.



"How can you calm down when your upset?" p.23. Usama

This is what Usama said when the women had asked him about the screaming from before.  He knows how they feel and why she couldn't calm down because she was so outraged by the whole situation.  The perspective shown here is his opinion of why she couldn't calm down and why she shouldn't have said "calm down" "just calm down"!  It hurts what these people are enduring and they don't have the sense to calm down with all their anxiety built up.
