It's strange that before September 11, I didn't know of anyone really with a middle eastern name. Now I recognize several:
Osama Bin Laden (sometimes referred to in print as Usama Bin Laden)
Mohammed Atta
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
Mullah Omar
just to name a few. I also know names of towns and cities I'd never previously heard of:
Kabul
Rabat
Islamabad
Peshwar
Kandahar
Karachi
I mean good for me that I am paying attention to the danger around us, but this post is more for the interesting-ness of how Islamic names & towns in other cultures have filled our newscasts and they don't seem so foreign anymore. Maybe it's just me.
