Is this the US or the Middle East

A reader sent this to me and I do not know if the translation is correct (nor do I know what they cut out), but there are a couple points about this video;

1. Is he talking about the middle east or the US and our progressively lazy population where we don't produce anything here and just buy it from the Chinese?

2. Is he still alive? Such outspokeness would have raised the ire of terrorists and extremists and I presume he's on somebody's hit list.

3. Why the hell can't the MSM show this guy and parade him around a bit to show that there are moderate Muslims in the world and they're not all terrorists? Oh, that's right, because he's advocating capitalism. And THAT is the true sin, a sin worse than terrorism in the eyes of the left in this country.

Regardless, I would gladly sit down and have a beer with this guy.
