#5 Wait a minute! Few Arab speakers identify themselves a "Arabs." The Euros are condoning cultural genocide by recognizing what is a Saudi organ of aggression.

By the way, am I the only one here who is aware that until American University (Beirut) promoted an Arabic uniformist program throughout proto-Arabia, the average Arabic speaker could only communicate with about one in five of nominal "Arabs"? Social engineering is a double edged sword.

Totally exact, this latest ongoing "3rd jihad" is accompanied by an arabization of non-arab muslim cultures as well, with the help of the West, which indeed amounts to a cultural genocide. The only globalization going on is not the western one...
This is not new, during french colonization of the area that would later became Algeria, arab names and language were enforced on the berbers IIUC (JFM will be much more knowledgeable about this), a trend which has only been strenghtened by the national-islamists ruling the country since independence.

I remember a very moving RB article by a somalui writer about how somali culture was slowly erased by arab customs and arab islam imported from the Gulf, and I also read here a related article on the arabisation of Malaysia.

This is madness, as we're de facto enabling our ennemies. But, then again, acknowledging the supremacy of arab culture is at the heart of the eurabian process and its equivalent in the anglosaxon world.
Remember, arabs have one HUGE quality : they've got plenty of petrodollars...

#7 An Arab league that sounds interesting. But I think its teams are no match for tose in the NFL or AFL.

#9 I did not realize that, Anginens Threreng8133 -- thanks! Although Mr. Wife did mention once that his Moroccan colleagues had to speak to his Arabic-speaking colleagues in French or English, because although they could read Arabic, they could not speak it in a way understandable to the Egyptians. I wonder if it's similar to the various Western languages all using the Latin alphabet?

#11 Truly, gromgoru? Kewl! Is it anything like the trouble I had the first time I met people from Tennessee? (I'm from Buffalo, New York, y'see.)
