[quote]Oosman

You say:

"if you cannot speak arabic, then you are not arab."

Excuse me dear Oosman you have side-tracked the issue with a very faulty and irrelevant argument. Do you think language is more important than one's ethnicity. Ok, I withdraw my 'claim' to be treated as an Arab.

As for the female infanticide it is still being widely practiced. In fact with the advent of ultra-sound it has taken the shape of female feticide now at least in the Indian sub-continent at an alarming rate, disturbing seriously the male-female ratio in some of the Indian states. In Pakistan they are killing women in 'Karo-Kari'. My point is that these practices are all condemnable, but why treat them as a speciality of Arabs as Allah has described that in the Quran. At least it was not so prevalent there to disturb the male-female ratio. This proves only that the Quranic Allah was concerned with the social reformation only of the Arab society and so pointed out their ills. But did it make any difference? In my view the Arabs and the Muslims at large are worse to day in every respect than the pre-Islamic 'Jahilia' Arabs.[/quote]
