The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

Ramadan terror concerns?
Full Story

ATLANTA (CNN) -- As more than one billion Muslims prepare to celebrate Ramadan, terror experts are mixed about whether the holy month is a tool for recruiting terrorists.

Some terrorism experts and Islamic scholars say Ramadan gives extremists an opportunity to enlist new recruits.

"It's a time which can be exploited by radical clerics to motivate individuals into taking action on the basis they are somehow serving their religion," says terror expert M.J. Gohel.

And analysts see another temptation for terrorists: exploiting the Battle of Badr, a symbolic date in Muslim history, which falls near the U.S. presidential election.


"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

The book Alif Baa is a great place to start learning the alphabet and some simple words/phrases. This was the first book I used last year. If you buy it, you also want to make sure you get the answer key to make sure you are doing things correctly.

Alif Baa is the beginning of a series of books that is widely used to teach non-natives Arabic. I know that the American University at Cairo currently uses this series of books, as do many prominent institutions teaching Arabic. We used a book called Standard Arabic for our second semester, but I would not suggest it for learning on your own. It is very good, but very difficult to grasp if you are working alone.

The follow-up to Alif Baa is Al-kitaab fii Ta'allum Al-'Arabiyya which is the book we are using now in conjunction with some materials our teacher randomly finds.

I have also used the Rosetta Stone computer program, it is quite useful for those of us who love sitting at the computer but a bit pricey for someone who is testing the waters.

I will likely be adding a bunch of links to Arabic learning sources on TM 21 in conjunction with the Arabic Image Link section I am creating. If you missed this before, check Fun With Arabic out, it is a very good online intro.

For those who remember last year's illness outbreaks at Las Vegas Hotels, cruise ships, old age homes, etc...starting again this year.

Norovirus Confirmed As Flamingo Hotel Illness (10/26/04 -Las Vegas)

(Oct. 26) -- Eyewitness News has learned that the illness that has plagued the Flamingo hotel and casino is the norovirus. We were the first to tell you about the spreading illness at the hotel. And Tuesday, the health district told us that they've had as many as 250 unconfirmed cases of norovirus -- most were Flamingo employees, and some were guests.

The Flamingo says they will fog all the 3,500 rooms in the hotel with an anti-viral chemical. They will also leave a letter in each room telling new guests about the situation.

Norovirus is spread by humans, after being picked up by fecal-oral contact. Washing hands after using the restroom is a critical preventive measure.....

Thank you very much for this comprehensive list!! I will have a busy time the next few days following-up on this info. My interest in this has been piqued from our wonderful TM....the excitement of learning something entirely different....and the feeling that there could be a long-term need for people to know Arabic per the gov. backlog.

Good wishes to you always in your studies...how do you find time to fit in FR?!

You're welcome, I have a bunch more that I am compiling to use once I figure out what to do with them! Those links are definately the best for a beginner.

If you have any interest at all, you should give it a try. Most of the people I started with have since given up, but I find it to be very interesting and rewarding. I can only hope that what I learn will be of some use to the country in the future.

I am one of those people who does not get much done until the last minute... so I manage to find a fair amount of free time for myself, even with classwork. ;-)

No, I can see at least 2 urls I don't have.

I see that the yahoo group markiislami (sp?) is down in the finance group and it was carrying and or linking to some of the exs.cs and uploadyourimage links on it.

Thanks for the update/links.
