True, the Database for articles and users was already in CP1256 before the 
recent upgrade, I tried to switch it (convert with iconv, or recode) to 
UTF-8, but unfortunetly this caused some flows in the Database, where users 
with Arabic names were not able to login.

Well.. Linux4Arab is not for Windows-Users only, ALL graphical Web-browsers in 
Linux can open CP1256 sites without problems. So this is a non-issue. On the 
other hand, about 90% of the site visitors use IE. IE can open both CP1256 
and UTF-8, and so does Mozilla, Safari, and Konq. So this Encoding issue I 
see as pure non-sense. What counts the most is the Content and quality of 
content.
