Thanks, lahargis.

That Azzam the American character, isn't he the one who threatened us with dirty bombs?

At first when I read his name, Azzam, I thought there was something to it, later on I realized that Azzam is a common islamic name. I say this because Azzam spelled backwards, mazza, means sledgehammer in my native tongue. I'm American born, but was brought back to Europe at age five. My parents (my father is American born, but not my mother) later on returned to the states when I was 16 years old. Why do I mention all this? Because where I was raised as a teenager people speak what is known as Lingua Franca - a mixture of many languages, idioms and terms, many of them Arabic. Lingua Franca is known in the Mediterranean Sea.
