I have a policy of not posting messages like the one reacted to  
below.  Since I ignored it in this case, I am posting the following  
two reactions, but will not post any further ones.  Sorry for the lapse.

As an Arab (and a linguist) I find Mr. Colangelo's statement arrogant,  
misinformed, and insulting.  Freedom is what the Arabs, especially the  
Syrians, need and want, not more government legislation and heavy- 
handed interference even in determining how people should name their  
children. I would like to think that Arabs can still have dignity  
without believing in these practices.
