i think a lot of Christians from Muslim nations are very shy because English is not their first language. Therefore we don't see many posting on the forums because its requested that you post in English.
I think this forum will be great because RoboOp is encouraging people to post in their native language and fellowship with other Christians in their region that can understand.
The request to keep it Arabic is so that the Moderator can understand the conversation and keep inappropriate comments off the site. Which would hard to do if he/she is unable to understand the language. I don't know what other languages the Moderator is fluent in but perhaps people could have conversations in those languages.
I don't think this forum is trying to exclude people of other languages, its just being practical.
I hope those who use it are edified and encourage. God bless Christians who maintain their faith in hostile lands.

[SUP]8 [/SUP]«أنا أعرِفُ أعمالَكَ. وَها إنِّي أفتَحُ أمامَكَ باباً لا يَستَطِيعُ أحَدٌ أنْ يُغلِقَهُ. فَمَعَ أنَّكَ قَلِيلُ القُوَّةِ، إلّا أنَّكَ حَفِظتَ تَعلِيمِي وَلَمْ تَتَخَلَّ عَنِ اسْمِي.
[h=3]3:8[/h]Arabic Life Application Bible (ALAB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP]إِنِّي عَالِمٌ بِأَعْمَالِكَ. فَمَعَ أَنَّ لَكَ قُوَّةً ضَئِيلَةً، فَقَدْ أَطَعْتَ كَلِمَتِي وَلَمْ تُنْكِرِ اسْمِي، وَلِذلِكَ فَتَحْتُ لَكَ بَاباً لاَ يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُغْلِقَهُ.
