I am appalled at many of the answers I see here. They border on harrassment, show their ignorance and embarrass the country they claim to hold so dear, if they are US citizens. They have forgotten that we are mostly foreigners in our own country. Perhaps they slept through their American history classes and any church doctrines they might have learned. They show a poverty of the mind. I apologize on their behalf because they haven't the courage to learn. They are unfortunately a biproduct of today's youth which has little regard for ALL humanity. Just because you are Arabic speaking does not make you Osama, Taliban et al. In order to make peace in the world, all people need to learn the basics of other cultures and their belief systems. We should be working more towards a goal of feeding, clothing, housing, teaching (good things) to those less fortunate even in our own country. Or have they not wondered why they see more homeless families in the world today...including the United States.
Spanish - paz
Russian - мир
Norwegian - fred French - paix
German - Frieden
Italian - pace
Dutch - De vrede
Portuguese - paz
Greek - ειρήνη
Arabic - سلام
These are what I got from the below link...and here is mine from America: Peace + Love thy neighbor = No war
Garlic Bread Wars
Governments shouting
over one and all:
"Heed….Heed the call!
The call to WAR!!!"
Like unruly children,
in power over many,
They shout and stamp their feet
in
temper tantrums aplenty.
Now…
All around destroyed or bleeding.
No more gas for war machines.
Metals used up now.
Nothing left for bullets.
Both sides went to war
with loaves of garlic bread
for swords instead
The garlic loaves, now broken,
have fallen to the floor.
Who will win the danged wars?
Who cares anyhow?
Not governments
who wanted their dang war!
Just those left behind
who bury dead,
take care of the wounded
and pray for
the dying!

maasha Allah I like the analogy there! It has been said to me that even by running your fingers over the lines of the Noble Quran that you will receive the same merits as if you read every word. Thankfully they print the Quran in English as I am sure it will take me my life time to learn to read Arabic script. Do you know just how beautiful the words of the Messenger sound in Arabic. You can feel the power and this is something that I had become aware of long before I had even thought of reverting to Islam. Allah in his wisdom has truly given a a wondrous gift,one we should give thanks for and read every day, no matter what language your copy is in the gift is of equal value.

I do agree with ladyamberrose. I am sometimes so ashamed to say that I live in America when I read some of the answers on here. I don't feel like any of the ones who say they don't want to learn Arabic. I do. One reason is because I never want to be limited in who I hold a conversation with. It's my own fault if I am.

Well I am not attacking anyone. And my second language is spanish and I also make many mistakes. Don't pay attention to the people who make fun of you on here. By the way your English is fine!

This is an English language board. If you ask a question in understandable English on a pertinent subject, then very few people will worry about your English. But if you make a mistake and someone criticizes it, that is only natural.
Many of us have no desire whatsoever to learn Arabic. If we did maybe we would go to an Arabic language board. And it is totally understandable that many Americans are not friendly to the Arab peoples - after all, we have seen the behavior of Arab terrorists slicing off the head of an innocent prisoner and committing suicide blowing up dozens of innocent people (including many Muslins) and those actions being cheered and supported by Arab leaders. At least when Americans behaved badly, as at Abu Ghraib, the actions were condemned, not applauded.
The Arabic culture is not one that most people in the world can admire. For most of us, if traditional Arab values disappeared and the people of West Asia adopted Western attitudes of democracy, tolerance, respect for women and rule of law, then the world would be better off.

Some people here on Yahoo answers are ignorant when they don't understand how hard it is to learn a new language. The ones picking on you are hopefully just the kids. Adults should know better. Good luck!

Maybe you have not notice but there is a spell checker at the top of the box where you type your Q & A.
