I've already renamed my toilet after him. That is all he gets from me.

Yes, the dispute between the Arabs and Persians about the Persian Gulf is true--however it's just two different unrelated news stories that the OP refered to. The Persian Gulf is past the strait of Hormuz in between Iran and Saudi Arabia--the Arabian Sea is in between the Arabian Peninsula and Pakistan and India.

Osama Bin Laden was dumped in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Pakistan, he wasn't dumped anywhere near the Persian Gulf. Some Arabs want to rename the Persian Gulf the Arab Gulf--nothing to do with the Arabian Sea or Osama Bin Laden however.

Persian Gulf or Arabian Gulf




Radicals want to rename the Arabian Sea "Martyr's Sea".

Heh. The poll for this thread clearly reads:

The Body of water should be ...
The Arabian Sea
The Persian Gulf
Martyr's Sea (In honor of Osama Bin Laden)

And the title of the thread reads: "Radical Muslims Consider Renaming Arabian Sea (Persian Gulf) for Osama Bin Laden"
Which implies that the debate is whether the Persian Gulf should be renamed the Arabian Sea or for Osama Bin Laden.

Osama Bin Laden wasn't dumped in the Persian Gulf...

Some interesting and factual replies.

Let us just save a lot of time and trouble by renaming all waters in that unhappy region 'legalsea lake'. Has a nice ring to it.

It's quite allright.

I know what I meant even if the poll and thread is screwed.

This topic will be back around again when the radicals start gathering around the shores of the Arabian Sea in honor of their fallen martyr erecting shrines to their dead leader - then rename the Arabian Sea - Martyr's Sea.

Dumping Bin Laden in the water will prove to have the opposite effect of what they intended.

Contrasting that with the controversy brewing between Iran and Saudi Arabia over the re-naming of the Persian Gulf to Arabian Gulf. I asked when was the Persian Gulf renamed?

[LordBalfor]

If they want to rename because OBL was dumped into it, they should just rename it "the Sea of Commode".

Works for me.

That dispute never confused the gulf with the sea like you did
