Queen Rania of Jordan has launched an official YouTube page in an effort to dispel stereotypes of the Arab and Muslim world.

Do all Arabs hate Americans? Can Arab women work? Are there any YouTubers in Jordan? The queen said questions like that are what she seeks to address.

    • Good on you Your Royal Highness. Perhaps now we can breakdown some of people's stereotypes about the Arab World, plagued by misconceptions. Terrorists, Allahu Akhbar and the name, 'Ahmed' - to mention a few..
