In Istanbul, I received a lot of guff from fellow travelers about stupid questions that Americans had asked. Now, I don't feel so bad.
We were having a discussion about the riots and protests throughout the Middle East due to the publication of depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. There was an Aussie who had been in the Middle East for awhile. Long enough to cover Egypt, Dubai, parts of Africa, and end up in Istanbul. So his question was, "So who is this Muhammad guy anyway?"
You have to make a concerted effort to remain that ignorant...

Ry,
