Thanks to Amir for the following:

This is what Daivari said after Muhammad Hassan's promo on the NY TIMES at the tapings last night (and on WWE.com today). Daivari speaks PERSIAN (Farsi) not Arab. Here it is:

Daivari Said: For everyone who watched last week on the TV you saw me get picked up from the ground and go to the back. But you thought the hands on me were Arab hands. You don't even know, but when you hear that the masked men were Arabs, you believe it. We are Arab (points to himself and Hassan) so therefore you think we are bad people. But please, for only one time, one minute, ONE SECOND just listen to the words of me and Muhammad and you will understand we are American and we are from America. And then you will then understand what they wrote on the New York Times was wrong (points to the crumpled paper).

-I just wanna point out again that Davari IS NOT speaking Arab, he's speaking Persian. But yeah, Hassan stuck up for himself good, great promo there, crowd was pretty quiet and only thing they did do was chant U.S.A. The Muhammad Hassan/Undertaker terrorist storyline has since continued to get mainstream coverage all over the media today, as you guys have been reporting on.
