Platt, How much Arabic do you know? How much History of that region do
you know?
They claim that the Eskimos have a couple of hundred words to describe
snow. Because they live in it and they need to know every nuance about
it.
The Arabic language has a couple of hundred words to describe a sword.
Until you know what ails these people, until you get into their psyche,
you can't prescribe a remedy. Again showing your ignorance of a culture,
a region and its people.
