I know this is going to sound like an NBC public service announcement but yesterday I discovered that the Comoros is both an Arab country and 98% Sunni Muslim.
Since this startling discovery last night I have memorized the entire Wikipedia article on Comoros.
For example, generic it is the last registered member of the Arab League in 1993, help its legal system is based on Sharia law and due to Arab/Islamic influences: 62.5% of the population is literate in Arabic. Due to French/Roman Catholic influences: 57% of the population is literate in Latin.
A dying language and a dead language. Perfect.
On a semi-unrelated note I also discovered that if all the Arab nations united we would have the second biggest total land mass, the third biggest total population and only the 10th highest total GDP.
We would also have a chance of winning the World Cup.
Maybe.
Like the way your mind works, Nas!
do you really think it was a coincident that the anglos and the francos drew the arab map in a manner that would break up the arab world, with israel wedged right in the middle between african arabia and asiaian arabia? we may accept the legality of israel, but we cannot accept the immorality of Israel.
Interesting!
Naseem ,I sent you the link but I am not sure if you got my comment, here’s the pictures I told you about:

Those nasty imperialists wedged the Indian Ocean between the Comoros and the rest of the Arab world. There is nothing the wouldn’t do to keep us apart!
thanks salam, great stuff!
