CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It seems as good a place as any. I don't speak Arabic now, but am enrolled in classes in the fall.

Hope it goes well for you; it's an interesting, major language. The Smith-VanDyck version is the usual Protestant edition of the Bible in Arabic that is widely used.

Is that MSA? I'm going to be concentrating on a particular dialect rather than MSA.

As I understand it, most newspapers and books are written in standard, Classical Arabic similar to that of Cairo.

I'm going to be concentrating on the Levantine dialect as spoken in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, etc. I may branch into Standard, but I am more interested in the commonly spoken language than the printed news, at least to begin with.
