Start the presses: In an apparent effort to teach people that not all Arabs are terrorists, the United States government is starting a new magazine aimed at showing the lighter side of being Arab. The Arabic-language magazine, simply titled Hi, will target a young Arab demographic and feature stories on the hip topics like "the experiences of Arab students in American colleges and shorter articles on yoga, sandboarding, singer Norah Jones, Arab American actor Tony Shalhoub and marriage counseling -- the latter story illustrated with a photo of Dr. Phil McGraw, the Oprah-spawned TV tough-love guru." Sounds to us like an Arab version of Jewsweek. Maybe the Saudi Arabian government will start funding our magazine.
