Assalamu Alaikum,

Ring, ring.
"911 operator. How may I help you?"
"Dude, I lost something very valuable to me, and my community lost theirs along with me. We've been tricked into losing them!"
"May I ask what 'it' is exactly?!"
"Arabic."
"Good day." click.
I know that's not how they answer when you call 911, but Alhamdulillah I've never tried it nor have I had to! Did it ever occur to you how honored muslims are? We have the Qur'an in one of the best----sorry THE best language on earth! But we are losing the language!!
Help keep it alive by learning it yourself. Keep it alive by teaching it to others. Support foundations that teach Arabic. Marry Arabs!! Have Arab-speaking bilingual/trilingual kids! Help Islam stay alive so we won't regret it and think we have wronged and that losing Arabic was our fault! Please!
I'll start speakng "FusHa" (arabic) at home and write sometimes in it on my blog.
Try to understand, or translate it and learn!
تحيى أللغة العربية!
