Hey, guys, i think that the idea of Arabizing Linux is a great idea and 
a worthwhile project. It's my understanding that this is the whole point 
of ArabEyes.org and of this mailing list, which is why i'm subscribed to 
it. Furthermore, i also think it's great that Quranic software is being 
developed. However, i think that messages exorting us to "spread Islam" 
and the like fall outside the scope of this particular project and this 
mailing list, as not all Arabic-speakers are Muslim and neither are all 
people subscribed to this list. Let's make this a comfortable place for 
everyone interested in Arabizing Linux, not just for those whose 
practise a particular religion. We can do this by keeping messages 
focused on the prime goal of this organization, which is Arabizing Linux.

I am tempted to say much more, but have decided to heed my own 
suggestion of staying on topic. :-)
