Hmmmm.... You do have a point. LOL
I spelled it the way I wanted just like I made jihadi a lower point font from the rest of the post.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.
