Holy Jihad! I would think the kids kids could spend there time better learning to snuggle up to the arabs.

I think its great that not everyone in the church is close minded and realizes the need for Arabic for the church. Not to mention the cultural understanding that comes along with learning the language. They too will need to hear the gospel in their own tongue.
