| #8 Yeah, I still think "Moderate Muslims" are to be found in the same quantities as unicorns and yetis. You've got to be one stupid bastard to follow that totally insane religion and anyone who openly admits to doing so is not only dangerous but too damned stupid to hold American citizenship or be allowed within the borders. Screw them and their pedophile punk prophet. Deport the lot of them ASAP. |

| #7 It's not nearly as frustrating as Catalan, though. |

| #5 I can sort of understand it when I read it To me, it works better with italian and spanish, from which I can sort out a meaningful word here and there when reading, even if I don't speak them. Damn those furriners! |

| #4 I can sort of understand it when I read it, but my babelfish refuses to cooperate when hearing it. |

| #3 I might add that it is a rather nice-sounding language, even if I don't understand a word. |

| #2 Portuguese isn't all that obscure, though more people speak Brazilian Portuguese than speak European Portuguese. |

| #1 "As for literature - the list of banned books is so long that it would be easier to name the ones that are permitted and approved. This is true even in large countries like Egypt, and [even] for masterpieces of our cultural [heritage], like the One Thousand and One Nights. [Works by] Abu Nawas, Bashar Ibn Bord, Al-Isfahani, Al-Madari, and hundreds of others were banned from bookstores in the 20th century. Remember, each year tiny Portugal translates more books into the obscure Portuguese language than those translated into Arabic by all of the MME (Muslim Middle East) countries combined. |
