Absolutely stunning! Originating in a small town of the Arabian
Peninsula, Islam spread around the world and today the number of
Muslims in the world are almost equal to the number of Christians in
the world – even though Islam arrived 600 years after Christianity. It
is also stunning in the sense that millions of people in the Middle
East including Muslims, Christians and Jews began to have a common
Arabic alphabet, a common Arabic language, common Arabic customs and
began to refer to themselves as Arabs. Imagine for a moment the Middle
East region having 50 different spoken languages. That would never
have been good
