Ram, he had a picture of a character in his head. That's why I suggested the Double Great Scimitars. If I could think of a light version of a weapon that would fit with his mental image I'd have suggested that for the off hand to improve his average damage. The ability to accurately hit will be much more valuable since we are talking about adding Backstab at level 7-8ish. (5-6 Ranger, 2 Scorpion Herator)
It isn't the "Ideal" killing character, but it's got that Arabian guy from the Prince of Thieves movie, and the Desert Ranger guy from the modern Mummy Movies.

Arabian guy I think he means this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXvdwCb5zP4
They are both wrapped in lots of cloth and carry around a Scimitar. They both use a single weapon, but that would put him at a disadvantage. As such, I figured adding a second great Scimitar would be a good idea. He could drop the feat and go with standard scimitars instead, or use the great scimitar two handed.
I suggested the riding scorpion because it fit with the Scorpion Herator class he might want to do, but alternatively he might go horse and eagle like desert ranger guy went.
Edit: Here's the details of a possible Desert Orc:
22Str(16), 12Dex(4), 14Con(6), 8Int(2), 8wis(2), 8cha(2)
WasteRanger1:Exotic Weapon (Great Scimitar), Weapon Focus (Great Scimitar), Flaw of some sort, {+Track, 1st Favored Enemy, & Wild Empathy}
WasteRanger2:{Combat Style:Two Weapon Fighting}
WasteRanger3:Scorpion's Resolve {+Heat Endurance}
WasteRanger4:{Animal Companion:If Shoruke allows a Riding Scorpion}
WasteRanger5:{2nd Favored Enemy}
After Ranger 5, you should qualify for Scorpion Herator. At Scorpion Herator 2 you gain Sneak Attack +1d6. You might want to consider taking Oversized Two Weapon fighting here as well which makes the Great Scimitar count as a light weapon. Complete Adventurer Page 111.
The high strength is to ensure the best chance of hit possible. This build should result in lots of hits. Since Scorpion Herator is a Prestige class, he doesn't have to worry about Multiclassing.
