When you talk to a Muslim and the name of the Prophet Mohammad is spoken, his name is followed by the phrase "Peace Be Upon Him." Saturday is a holiday, Milad Al Nabi, the birthday of the Prophet. When I was reading about the holiday in the Gulf News, the English language newspaper published in UAE, the above phrase was shortened to PBUH. I had to chuckle when I read it. When they name the ruler of Dubai, they print it ALL out, but they give Mohammad the short version. And because you were wondering, the ruler's full name: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. Try learning that in kindergarten!
I need to get back to "The Bold and the Beautiful." I just won't be able to go with my day until I find out if Ditsy Brunette Character #3 is still in love with Beefy Blond Character #6. The suspense is killing me!
