Identity Crisis of Muslim Expats

A post on 360east.com noted a video on ikbis (an Arabic YouTube-like website) that comically showcases a common dilemma facing Arabic/Muslim expats in the west. The video shows a Jordanian father talking to his son who recently returned to Jordan from America for a visit. (‘Ikbis’ is Arabic for push/press/squeeze)

Nokia in the UAE has an agreement with ikbis for its Nokia N-Series mobile devices. Owners of N-Series Nokia cell phones can take video on the go and use the built-in “upload to ikbis” functionality to upload video clips directly to ikbis.com with a press of a button.

A Fox News segment featuring Ikbis stirred some controversy earlier this year as some people took offense to what they considered a ‘racist undertone’.
