The World Muslim Council has finally succeeded in its campaign to get Islamic names attached to major storms and hurricanes -arguing that using only 'western ' names is discriminatory .Now the International Commission for Meteorological Nomenclature has agreed that from 2018 -Islamic personal names will be used in alternate years so we'll see names from Storm Abdul to Storm Zahir. Typically ,the first list of names submitted were men's only but at least the ICMN insisted that female names had to be included as well. Another issue was the spelling of the names -until a set of anglicised forms for Standard Arabic names was finalised.
Seems harmless enough but yet another step in the Islamicisation of so many areas of life ...one wonders where will it all end ?

Hi Vubiant, thank you for posting on my 'missing' thread, absence and reflection has tempered my 'bile'. I owe you an apology for repeating my criticism of one of your posts. Not only was I was wrong to do do it, but the manner in which I did it also was completely out of order. I'm sorry. I will keep away from your threads in future

Noble sentiments box -but you're welcome on to my threads anytime -it's a free open forum and if we're able to dish it out we should be able to take it as well. A little dash of acrimony spices things up now and then and we can all get too intense betimes -but there's no malice and we generally rebound back to calmness and sanity.
 I hope you continue in good health and feisty spirits. |
