I've been wondering about Hawaii for some reason. Many of the jihad posts re: islands and other things have made me think about that area. I wonder if they would love to pull another Pearl Harbor? Although we are much better protected there now. Just a thought, I just don't know what to think anymore it seems we are spinning our wheels trying to figure this stuff out.

The references to Island may be a translation error.

StillProud had posted an explanation about Saudi being almost a synonym to Island earlier. And she explained why.

Arabic doesn't translate like a latin root language. Words in Arabic are associated with history and/or religion unlike latin based languages.
