Arabic Numerals

[ga16i]

Something just occurred to me today, remembering the whole freedom fries thing when the US first went to the middle east, I wonder how long before the US bans / renames these terrorist instruments:

Someone in the US should start lobbying to Palin or someone regarding these things infiltrating the US.

You want the US to ban base 10?

Or ban Arabic Numbers
٠.١.٢.٣.٤.٥.٦.٧.٨.٩

This just occurred to me, this thread is a joke right? :facepalm:

Let's ban the language and/or alphabet of non-english speaking people... okay, so Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, German, Hebrew, etc.? People used the English alphabet/numbers to kill people as well, please see European history.

" I wonder how long before the US bans / renames these terrorist instruments:"

You guys are such idiots. I'm assuming that ga16i is trying to make a joke as "Arabic Numerals" are the same 1,2,3,4.... that we use here.

"Eastern Arabic Numerals" or "Turkish Numerals" as I have heard them referred to are the ٠.١.٢.٣.٤.٥.٦.٧.٨.٩ numbering system...
