    why is it assumed that this man is Arab and that the words behind him are Arabic. This man appears to be South Asian, as does the language behind him.

    @AliyaBabasaur: You're a little bit off, my friend. There are a huge number of Muslims in South Asia, which includes Pakistan as well. In Pakistan and in India they speak Urdu among many other languages, which is written in an antiquated Arabic calligraphic script. The man looks South Asian because he is, but that doesn't mean that he isn't Muslim.


    Also, "Muslim" is the general term for those who believe in Muhammad, and "Arab" for those who come from around the area that makes up the ancient Roman province of Arabia. Please don't confuse them.

    @i'm_a_bottle: ... They don't actually believe in Muhammad, they believe in God and Muhammad as his prophet. Sorry.

    Clearly Benji is so distraught by the break up he's gone and done a Hemingway. The copy is fabricated, he's mourning, not 'back'. The hat thing, though, remains unexplainable.

    I think from his get-up he is from Kashmir, Afghanistan or Pakistan.

    If this were CSI, they'd enlarge the photo so I could see the writing on the left-hand microphone that my aged eyes can't currently make out.

    I think that's Bob Hoskins, wearing an Amish beard and condemning the decadent West.
