What this quotation sounds like to me is a translation from English to Arabic 
and back to English!  It sounds just like the instruction manuals for 
equipment made in foreign countries, such as my wonderful Bernina sewing 
machine, made in Switzerland, instruction manual translated from German to 
English.  If I didn't understand how difficult it is to translate all the 
little nuances peculiar to each language, I would think it was comical.
I simply can't imagine an American boy speaking in such a manner.  It is 
either propaganda or poor translation.
