Yeah, it's just an ignorance thing, most people don't know much about other cultures in the world, so they generalize. They don't mean harm by it, they just don't know any different. A child is born in America, he has a good life, he's safe, all he knows about the rest of the world is there's elephants in africa, sand in the middle east, and kangaroos in australia. Most Americans don't know shit about hardly any other country in the world, but the misconception of the world is that we as Americans are unintelligent, or uneducated. That clashes with the fact that America leads the world in most positive, measurable attributes, economic indicators, etc. So of course American's aren't unintelligent, or they wouldnt' succeed like they do. The real reason Americans don't know anyting about other countries is a large majority of them are content to live in the great country they were born in, and don't really have any desire to know or experience what's happening in other countries in the world. There's so much opportunity here, opportunities in other countries aren't even concerns.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

Look up Sarcastic in the dictionary, nothing he said was sarcastic. If he would have said something like
"Oh, i'm SURE they're really going to take over!"
That would have been sarcastic. Saying towel stock is going to go up isnt' sarcastic, it's just a joke.

sarcasm:
1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound. 2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
Try again.

Hmmm. I guess I'll try and explain it to you, hell, somebody has to.
1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
There was nothing cutting about what he said, it wasn't intended to wound, and it wasn't ironic.
2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
He didn't use sarcastic language.
He just wasn't being sarcastic. Anybody who knows what the word sarcastic means can recognize that. I'm sorry you think your'e right, but as is so often the case, you're wrong.

There's no right or wrong, everyone has their own interpretation of things. If Jake knows that Muslims really don't wear towels on their heads, then yes, it was a sarcastic remark. However, if he doesn't know that, and is just ignorant, then it's a dumb joke rather than being a form of sarcasm...So when the dude said, "its so annoying when people like you think muslims wear towels on there head wtf?? no", I said, "I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic."...So I took Jake implying that Muslims wear towels on their head as sarcasm...You lose, motherfucker.

So, in other words, you just use the word sarcastic whenever you want, because 'there's no right or wrong'. LOL Alrighty. Hey, you're still in Junior High, ask your english teacher about it, see what she thinks.
