Salam Al-Nashmi !
I appreciate your honesty and compliment!
The problem is, there are some things I cannot express in English which is why I decided to write in Arabic.. Even though I prefer to write all posts in English so the majority of readers would understand, there are those who don’t understand it -but whom I would like to share thoughts with-..
I know this creates the problem of (non-Arabic readers will find it frustrating) but hey, it’s very important to reach for them and *illuminate* them
I love your blog too, I will place a link to it in my blogroll..

You know, this looks like a detail of the Alhambra in Granada. Which has been featuring in my better quality dreams ever since I have been to see it the first time when I was 12 years old.
So, as a non-arab speaking reader of your blog I’d like to assure you that it is indeed bloody frustrating! Not being able to read it!!!!
It does look very beautiful….
Your English seems excellent to me?
So are you ”illuminating” a hint that we should learn Arabic?

Hi Aafke
Yes, the picture looks like Andalusian mosaic art.. I haven’t enriched my brain enough on that era of Arabic/Islamic history but hopefully will in the near future. I hope to get the chance to visit Spain one day to see and be touched by all the Arab history there..
I know how frustrating it can be, but non-Arabic readers can always translate the Arabic posts with a click of a button (praise the lord for google and other translation websites)
non-English speakers of Arabs can also translate my English posts too..
I’m still not sure to be honest.. haha
My English is still not as good as I want it to be.. I want to be able to write in a presidential, aristocratic style too (has it’s benefits and moments)..
And,, um.. by *illuminate them*.. I mean, non-English speakers.. but yes, you should learn Arabic. I think it’s becoming very popular lately -notice how many schools and universities are offering Arabic courses these days?- I wished it didn’t take a world war to see people learning Arabic and taking belly dancing courses
Thanks for passing by Aafke,
