We use " Arabic as a language" to translate documents (technical or others)
for a "people" not for the pleasure of translating, and as you said, people
has a cultures,  customs, norms, habits, religions ..etc.

PS: yesterday I was in discussion with some persons in another forums (
http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1262404)
and there is someone who said in the beginning of his discussion "shalom"
(the Jewish hello expression) and no one said "stop don't use religious
words in a technical forums", this is a simple example that happened with me
yesterday,and there is a thousands of examples in similar cases..so I don't
know why only when MUSLIMS use religious expressions there is a problem and
when others do (and they are always doing it) there is no problem!!!

Please stop this farce!!!
