Just as I predicted, Arabic script is now presented to us without the English translation.
Here is a photo of a halal sign I took on the window of a kabab shop on the busy Yonge street. This is no "ethnic" restaurant. This is your regular fast food pita-with-fillings shop. I suspect the writing is exclusive to Muslims, but I just think it is part of the gradual indoctrination for non-Muslims and non-Arabs to recognize Arabic words and script.
What are they preparing us for? To read the Koran? I said it here first!
