He is a wonderful representative of the Kingdom.

Having studied Arabic long enough to perceive, if not comprehend, its complexity, I like to compare the two languages in mathematical terms. While English is like a vast plane, extending in all directions, limited only by the ability of the speaker, Arabic is like a cube, multi-dimentional, whose size increases exponentially as its speakers increase fluency.

I must buy this book.

I’m not surprised that Hamad was successfully adopted by a “traditional Italian-American family.” Arabs ruled in southern Italy long enough to leave a permanent mark upon the genetic as well as cultural heritage of Italy.

Anyone interested in perceiving this link need only read the book “Cristo si e’ Fermato a Eboli”, (Christ Stopped at Eboli), widely available in English translation.
