Hi, i found your web blog very interesting, how can one contribute to it, or post material?
thanks
still waiting for you posts !
Hi I also found your web blog and I’m looking forward to being part of this (movement?). I am an Arab, and probably as most of you have been, educated in English. What do you think about Arabizing ^^ this website too (translating/posting original Arabic content)? I can and am willing to help.
We all speak and write Arabic in this website, but we choose to do this in English coz there is lack of websites doing this. Thanks waiting for your participation.
