What animals are considered low class in arabic culture?

Question

i mean in saudi, they always joke around about bears, that they are stupid and lazy. in the west, bears are great and feared creatures.

any others?

Answer 1

The real question is why are women considered so low class in arabic culture, we treat animals with more respect here than they treat their female folk over there.

Answer 2

Pigs & women are the lowest life forms in their region.

Answer 3

Well yeah but the word you're referring has another meaning (fat) and people don't use as an insult to bears. I would say Pigs. Since pork is prohibitted lol :P

It's only considered as low class because it's filthy (and nobody can deny it...) and Haram (not halal) to eat.

Answer 11

pigs and perhaps oysters, etc - Muslims and Jews do not eat those because the animals eat uhh - well u know.

It sounds stupid but its good that they do not eat them cause they consider those animals unhygenic.

Besides whether or not you people do not know, pork is bad to eat trust me. (hehe first comment!:D)

Answer 13

pigs, donkeys and Americans

Answer 14

i'm a saudi and have never heard anything about bears (usually associated with chubby children in jeddah saudi arabia, in a good way...not as an insult )

the most common would be dogs, but refering to someone as a donkey means he's stupid, as a cow or bull again as dumb. snake is associated with being sneaky, fox as being witty in an evil way...ummmm, what else...well the good traits are associated with horses (noble), eagles (sharp), camels (patient and strong)  and deer (many references to different kinds all related to grace and beauty) environmental influence i guess. oh and chicks are associated with "cute"

one more thing,  i just want to state that i've read some of the responses and as a saudi woman i found them to be wrong and offensive.

Answer 15

.....pigs and dogs.....
