You might find it odd that a Hebrew word for “interesting” is used regularly in Israeli Arabic. I once asked an Arab friend of mine about this and was told, to my surprise: “That’s because we don’t have our own word for ‘interesting.’ The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;An Iranian&#8217;s vision of Jesus&#8217; life stirs debate,&#8221; (from 29 April) brings some thoughts to mind.
