Trump converts to Islam
RIYADH (The Borowitz Report)—In a notable shift of public opinion, a substantial majority of Americans now favor a travel ban on a person who has recently visited a Muslim country, a new poll shows.
According to the poll, if such a person travelled to a country in the Middle East, for example, he should be subjected to extreme vetting before he is allowed to return to the United States.
If, in the course of such vetting, the person is found to have recently engaged in activities to undermine or even destroy American democracy in collaboration with a foreign enemy, he should be barred forever from entering the U.S., poll respondents agreed.
In sizable numbers, those polled “strongly agreed” with the statement, “Any American who travels to a Muslim country with the intention of selling them deadly weapons should not be allowed to return.”
Finally, a broad majority of poll respondents said that if such a person were to remain outside the borders of the U.S. forever, they would “sleep better at night.”

What is that ritual in the video?
It's an old war dance, often performed at (wealthy people's) wedding or celebrations.
Tom, it's a traditional Sword Dance, the national Saudi dance.
This clip is of the king dancing.
Ardah (Arabic: العرضة / ALA-LC: al-‘arḍah) is a type of folkloric dance in Arabia. The dance is performed with two rows of men opposite of one another, each of whom may or may not be wielding a sword or cane, and is accompanied by drums and spoken poetry.[1]
Originally, the "ardah" was performed only by males of tribes of the central Nejd region before going to war,[citation needed] but nowadays it is done at celebrations, weddings, and national and cultural events by males all tribes, such as the Jenadriyah festival. There currently exists various types of ardah across the Arabian Peninsula.[1]
