Well, I've been reading this thread as it's been going along, being very diciplined not to post a reply. The reason is that it went in the wrong direction, and the more two people try to get a missed point across, it sometimes does turn into an argument.
I have a friend who told me that the one who wins a debate is the one who leaves the debate first.
Well, what all these posts meant was, there are some people who struggle more than others, and sometimes during the compulsery prayers, we really NEED to feel that total one on one connection to God. Sometimes the only way is using our mother tongue. Of course we have to strive to learn Arabic, but I strive harder to be closer to God, and when he wants me to know the language, I'm sure I will be a very good Arabic speaker.
