Did you know some Muslims read from right to left and قُلْ الله قُلْ is repeated in the Koran?

It's not a post about religion; but after I posted قُلْ الله قُلْ at this debate, I decided to see if the Democratic Underground website was able to display traditional Arabic, in a headline. It looks pretty good to me, after a recommendation from the first reply to the opening post, thanks! Now, who can translate قُلْ الله قُلْ? Here is the inspiration: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7851463

2. Please correct your post. There is no language called "MUSLIM"

"Muslim" is a religion, like "Mormon" or "Roman Catholic" or "Hindu" -- it is not a language or an alphabet.

Arabic script usually comes across without too much difficulty in most places on the web, these days. Same way with Japanese/Chinese/Korean/Cyrillic, too.

The internet has gotten very sophisticated, the world is closer together.

You can get rid of all the superscript and people still know what you mean.

5. Iranians read and write right to left too. I made the mistake of saying "wow, you write backwards!"

to an Iranian. I sure got a well-deserved lecture in response.

6. Wow... where to start?

(Oh, nevermind just saw who the OP is)

"speak, God, speak!", for the curious...

7. yes

I asked a coworker to read some something to me (I think the written is language exquisite) and I noticed he went from right to left
