Arabic--it's like Babel 17 in a way.
"Step Aside, English-Speaking Christians," warned Rod Parsley’s Center for Moral Clarity, claiming the school will "indoctrinate young people in customs of a racist, sexist and intolerant culture."

They are aware that there are Arabic-speaking Christians, right? That they are being persecuted at different times? And that one of the problems facing fighting radical Islamists and disconnecting support from sexist and intolerant ideas is that there are few Arabic speakers?
But no, Arabic-English immersion == 'Trojan Horse for radical Islam'.
And what kind of radical Islamist names the school after a Maronite Christian who railed against religious intolerance, loveless arranged marriages, and oppression? One as dumb as these guys?
"And now what shall become of us without any barbarians?
Those people were some kind of solution."
Oh and a list of English words derived from Arabic is here
