The various languages around the mediterranean, from hebrew to arabic to greek to all derived languages, all come from a common root.

Compare arabic to greek:

Alif - Alpha
Beh - Beta
Gaf - Gamma
Daled - Delta
Teh - Theta
Yeh - Iota
Kaf - Kappa
Laam - Lambda
Meem - Mu
Noon - Nu

Many of the letters, and their very names, are clearly related







Muslims are so good at dividing that they can divide the atom. If you see two Muslims, probably they belong to 3 parties.
