Re: Zaat
I think language can be the only barrier but we can learn other languages can't we. I can speak 5 languages anyway. All Muslims should learn Arabic as a common language anyway.
Seriously language is the only real cultural difference, the world is a global village, we all have the same culture anyway now. How many Pakis listen to Raag? It's all rock like in USA or Britian (bad example but it's all I can think of), none of the young generation in Paki cities wears shalwar kameez anymore (another example), we'd rather eat turkish donor or american burgers or italian pizza instead of roti saalan....
Muslims living in the West are American or British now, not likely that they'll ever go back to Malaysia, Dubai, Turkey, Indonesia or Pakistan anymore, so there's English as a common language if Muslims of these background inter-marry.
