On another note, I'm finally attaching a picture of my new tattoo--the hand of Fatima. I still haven't returned to the parlor to have the banner filled in. This is not, however, such a bad thing, as I can change the banner daily. In this case, I have paid homage to my friend Tommy Gun.
Enjoy.
in the arab world they call it "khamsa" -- 5. wikipedia links its significance to the 5 books of the torah or the 5 pillars of islam. what did you get yourself into man? anyway, maybe you could get "khamsa" written in arabic in the banner?? it looks pretty good though, nice work, and that's coming from someone who hates tattoos. ma'as salaaama.

Hello khoya. My name is Michael 'Jamal'. I'm the Director of the NYC Arabic Language & Culture Club. You joined our club some time ago, and I don't think I've had the pleasure to meet you.
Our club is going through some changes right now - as I'm sure you've heard. We have a dynamic international membership of nearly 900 diverse and multi-cultured members from all over the world, alhamdu'lela!
I've sent our numerous emails to our members saying that they must upload a recent personal photo, as well as properly complete the membership profile questionnaire, or risk being removed from the club.
Unfortunately, you haven't done so, and the deadline has passed.
However, if you would like to sign-up again, marhabba! All are welcome into this growing international club.
Ya Chris, if you have ANY questions or comments on this, please, feel free to call me directly on my cell phone, that number being (347) 523.3937 (you can also email me at NYCArabicLanguageClub@gmail.com).
Alf shokur ya sahabi
