Well, if there's something I've learned these past 30 years that there is ALWAYS somebody that will be offended by something. So you just do your thing and don't sweat the small stuff

What is the Arabic supposed to say?  I can read "Al-Aswad" (Black), but the first word isn't Al-Masjid, which I was expecting.

Al Jame'e, another name for Al-Masjid, means the gathering place

Four year Master's Degree in Oriental Studies from Oxford.  That was almost 20 years ago, though, so I'm very rusty these days, as life took me in a different direction.  I can still muddle along, though.  I still dream in Arabic occasionally.

WOW really interesting, so you know how to speak Arabic as well right? classical Arabic or specific country Arabic?
So what was the plan back then?

I learned FusHa and 3Amiya Misriya, although I'd have to admit that I was very much in the bottom of my class.  I spent seven years in the British Army and was called upon to use my Arabic once, to explain to some Omani bedouin that, when we were finished with our exercise, we would leave anything we didn't want to take away with us, *right here* and would they please, kindly stop nicking our kit.  Now I work in HR.  Funny old world.

Hahahah, it will be awesome to hear you speak in 3amiya masri hahahah. Actually my aunt teaches Syrian 3amiya in a uni in London, mostly for diplomats I guess. Its kind of funny that you need to know FusHa but you wont be using it at all, and if you speak it you will sound like a thing from a different era.
