Does this kaffiyeh make me look Arab?

Bahraini artist Mohamed Kanoo sure hopes so. He's re-imagined our political and entertainment elite as Arabs - a plea for tolerance in an age when the word "Arab" is often a pejorative.

From Oprah al-Winfrey to John bin Travolta - even Barack abu Obama. Kanoo is having a bit of fun, but his message is serious.

"Tolerance is an important aspect of our faith as Arabs and Muslims," Kanoo says. "Contemporary human difficulties are common problems for all humanity. That is what brings us together."
