Samunah? I can't remember. I think you're the one who uses that Muslim script for your name. Allah Ackbar...

Yep! Fun fact: Only 19% of Muslims speak Arabic.

Hopefully that cuts down on the number of POS ISIS recruits!
Okay then. Here's another 'Arabic fun fact'. Not that you and I are hijacking the thread.

I flew P-3C Orion's for the U.S. Navy from '86-'90. During one over seas tour, we helped the Saudis by Patrolling up and down the Gulf of Oman to keep an eye on the Iranians during the Iraq/Iran War. That being said, while there, one of my fellow crew members had a gold necklace made (back when it was affordable) in Arabic Script that he gave to his wife. 'She' thought it said her first name. It actually said '[female dog]'.
He had fun telling everyone that when she got it, she showed all her friends and neighbors it, saying "Ohhh look! It says 'Jenny!'"

HA!
Laughed way too loud at this at work

Haha WD-40. كلبة (Kelba), which I assume was the word on the necklace, is extremely insulting, not only because it is the Arabic equivalent to b*tch, but because dogs are considered very dirty animals under the Islamic faith. When I was in the UAE, I saw literally no dogs. Lots of cats, however!
