RE: Language
Not so wacky at all. English has become the language of technology and modernism. It is not a better language that french or german. Its just the US became the dominant economic power and folks had to learn english to compete. And of course most english speakers seem to have an aversion to learning other languages.
Now fast forward to asia where english also has become the international language even to the point where indians who already speak english are being retrained in US english and/or the queens english because no one understands their native form of english.
Time for the arabs to compete in the modern world. Keep islam but learn english would be a good first step. Next time you call a help line you may get "Hello this is Yasir Arafat, can i be of service?"
