	Arabic Language Facts
		The expressions Arabic and Classical Arabic usually refer to the pure Arabic language which is, according to Arabic speakers, both the language of present-day media across North Africa and the Middle East (from Morocco to Iraq) and the language of the Qur'an.
		While Arabic is strongly associated with Islam (and is the language of salat), it is also spoken by Arab Christians, Oriental Jews, and indeed Iraqi Mandaeans; and, of course, the vast majority of the world's Muslims do not actually speak it; they only know some fixed phrases of Arabic, as used in Islamic prayer.
		Arabic is a Semitic language, fairly closely related to, for instance, the Hebrew language and the Aramaic language.

		The Persian Gulf (Arabic الخليج الفارسي, Farsi خليج فارس, sometimes Arabian Gulf, sometimes shortened to just the Gulf to avoid debate) is an extension of the Arabian Sea in between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
		Countries with a coastline on the Persian Gulf are (clockwise, from the southeast): United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar on a peninsula off the Saudi coast, Bahrain on an island, Kuwait and Iraq in the northwest, and Iran in the north.
		In 1991 the Persian Gulf again was the background for a "Gulf War" as Iraq invaded Kuwait and was subsequently pushed back during what is now predominantly known as the (Persian) Gulf War, despite the fact that this conflict did not focus primarily on the Persian Gulf.

	Carrier Operations around the Arabic Peninsula
		The aircraft carrier operations around the Arabic Peninsula will be one of the most prominent aspects of the initial phase of the oncoming war against Iraq, this foremost because several local states which otherwise have large US bases, will probably not permit the USA to use these, nor their airspace.
		The Arabic Peninsula is surrounded by the Red Sea in the West, the Arabic Sea in the south, Gulf of Oman in the south-east, and the Persian Gulf in the East.
		On the other side, in order to enter the Persian Gulf, the USN carriers have to pass the Hormuz Straits, which is well covered by all sorts of anti-ship weaponry in Iranian arsenal: certainly never a very pleasant idea for most of the USN admirals, regardless how imminent the Iranian threat is or not.

	Geography of Arabic
		Before the expansion of Islam, the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa, where Arabic is now the dominant language, spoke a variety of languages, some of which were not even related linguistically to Arabic.
		The dialectal differences of Arabic have to do with the fact that its expansion was surprisingly fast, so that people speaking different languages adopted Arabic quickly, preserving some sounds and forms of their original languages.
		For instance, Moroccan Arabic is almost incomprehensible to speakers of the Eastern Arabic dialects.
