Dear Fouad:

(1) Many thanks for your following wonderful paper;

> ³What are the Most Important Issues for the Arab World: Political, Economic,
> Social or Cultural?²
> <http://tinyurl.com/yqs49m>

I am taking the liberty of disseminating it to our list members here.

(2) The following is one of slides I often use during my speech
<http://tinyurl.com/2dcoy6>;
Religion corresponds to root of a tree, culture to trunk, and civilization
to flowers and fruits ‹ for example, Japanese as cherry, Chinese peach, and
American apple, etc.

We need a cross pollination for jointly creating a new global culture and
civilization of a global society in the knowledge age of the 21st century by
youngsters around the world, -- which may correspond to the Golden Age of
Spain when Jew, Moslem, and Christian lived together to flourish Renaissance
from the end of 15th century to the middle of the 17th century.

I believe that it can be accomplished with the use of advanced Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs) nowadays.

What we then need is to provide environment to youngsters around the world
to perform it jointly and collaboratively through the ICTs ‹ see;

Judeo-Christianity is Monotheism with One and Absolute God.

Arabic countries introduced the concept of Zero (0) with Arabic numeral to
the western world which was invented in India.

> This is in contrast to Roman numeral -- which is almost impossible for
> multiplying, say, 14 (XIV) by 8 (VIII).  Therefore, this introduction was the
> most significant contribution of Arabic (Islamic) countries to the scientific
> advancement of the western world.

At the time when Julian calendar was set by Julian, Emperor of Rome
(361-363), there was no zero (0) so that the new millennium was started with
one (I).  This was corrected by Gregorian calendar by Pope Gregory XIII in
1582 which starts a new millennium with zero (0).

> As you may recall, some countries celebrated the start of the Third Millennium
> at the new year¹s day of 2000, and others of 2001.

If you divide one by zero, you will get infinity which is the symbol of
Buddhism <http://tinyurl.com/24fthn>.
This may be said as Utsumi¹s equation in comparison with Einstein¹s E=MC2 --
my big joke?!

Best, Tak
