Why Study Arabic?

Subtitle: 
A gulf of misunderstanding and suspicion can be bridged by learning the Arabic language

By Frieda Becker


This past August, according to a CNN report, Nicholas George, a senior at Pomona College, was detained at the Philadelphia International Airport after the Transportation Security Administration found Arabic flashcards in his belongings. In February, George filed suit in federal court against the TSA, the Philadelphia Police Department, and the FBI for civil rights violations. This is not the first time a person has been profiled at an airport for carrying items written in Arabic and it will not be the last.
