Dear Hamed,
Some points well made. On a personal note, however, I would always aim for inclusivity. My experience is that the effort of being inclusive is minimal, but the rewards can be great. Whatever you do, good luck with your venture. Yours,
Tony

Dear Tony,
Salam,
You have a point, but As you know there is no Arabic Language speaker but there are persons who could understand Arabic language and write it, most of them are Arabs whome are not necessarily Muslims, but the non Muslim Arabs are less than non Arabs Muslims who can understand Arabic, and all Muslims consider Arabic as central Language for understand Islam.
Also non Muslim Arabs have Islamic culture, so they don't have essential problems with Islamic umbrella "Lebanon is a member of OIC oic-oic.org".
in short word Standard Arabic "ALfussha" is more important to non Arabic Muslims than non Muslims Arabs.

Dear Hamed,
An interesting idea – I think most people would certainly welcome the development of a trans-national language academy for a trans-national language. But would it not be better if your goal was to build an academy for all speakers of Arabic, whether they are Muslim or not? I think that would be quite in line with the finest historical examples of inclusiveness in scholarship in the Arabic speaking world. Best,
Tony

English version:
Proposal to initiate a non government or National organization controlled Islamic universal Academy for Arabic language, centralized by the Idea of Arabic is for all muslims not only Arabs.
the current Arabic Language academies are controlled by every countries government, so they have all the problems of the Arabic politics systems, also used by every government for Ideological political purposes which resulted at loosing there scientific academic objectives.
most of these academies are very far from the technical developement, and the needs of terms localization thus the new horizons of computational linguistics research
this information is intended for Arabic Linguistics, thou this is a brief outlines of the previous Arabic message.
