Sadly, no one sees us as more than terrorists now.


Not so! If all Arabs were terroists, our problems would be insoluble absent blood shed of historic proportions.

Arabs and Polynesians also developed a number of navigation devices not used in the West.

As near as I can tell, there is a direct link from Polynesia back to the sea faring culture of India. I would guess that link would extend into the Arab world as well.

btw- in my ignorance, I didn't know proper young Arab ladies could do things like sailing. Not so? Or are you the blacksheep of the family?
