Re: Arabic vs Indic digits

I am sorry Hicham, but I really didn't mean to discuss any political issues here.
All I did is that I presented the information that I found, in a hurry, as is
(searching for the word "Arabic" in the text and copying and pasting the names of
the "Countries" before every occurrence, in a mechanical way), without thinking
about any political dimension they might have, if any, and sometimes without
reading the name of the country. It didn't even come to my mind that someone could
have included in that list of "Countries" a region such as Western Sahara.

I think that everybody on the list knows that it is exclusively related to the
wonderful technical mission of Arabeyes. We are supposed to understand everything
written on this list according to what it says and not according to what we think
that it could also mean or some other prejudgement. So let's not misjudge each
other and keep our replies to mistakes within the limits of correcting them, with
no reference to that word that I hate: "politics".

Again, sorry for the mistake and best Regards,
Yasser
