Arabic and Conlangers
Aw, teeny tiny wank at a conlangs community. Conlangs, incidentally, are "constructed languages," i.e, ones that are invented or created such as Quenya/Sindarin, Klingon or Esperanto.

myth links to and excerpts from an article in The Daily Star on Arabic that features some very wanky quotes as to whether or not Arabic is "perfect."

As if the original article wasn't wanky enough, the commenters get jiggy themselves, with one anonymouse asserting that a superiority complex is inherent to Islam.

In other news, oneironaut is sensitive to mungojelly's broad generalization, and bc_ comes dangerously close to invoking Godwin's Law.

I clicked on the link hoping to see some good old storming-of-the-stage, but NO. Everyone is depressingly polite! Goddamnit.

Don't really have much to say, but felt the need to express some undying ICON LOVE! *<3's Book so much*

You know my first thought?

"Hey. Conlang wank! I know someone who'd be interested in that!"

*facepalm*

<random> Re: Icon I really hated the bad Mandarin adaptations used in that series, almost as much as I hate conlangs (and I really hate conlangs). Made it absolutely painful to listen to -- especially when it (the concept!) had so much potential! </random>
