This shows your lack of knowledge of the Middle-East. People in Syria/Lebanon look extremely different from the people in Saudi Arabia. They just happen to speak the same language (heck the accent is quite different too)
Steve Jobs didn't look Middle Eastern in the same way that this kid's clock looked like a bomb. Which is to say, it's not true, but "looks like" often depends on what the observer thinks a thing is.
