Instead the calligrapher highlighted extended, dual vertical strokes, making Two Towers out of them with debris falling from out.

In the Arabic alphabet, even in highly decorative calligraphy (which this is not--it's pretty close to how Arabic is printed in most books), there are rules that need to be followed. To write mubaarak you need to write an extended aa, which is done be extending an alif (a) out of the preceeding consonant. As the alif is what is called a disjointed letter (not joined with the letter that follows), 'baa' looks like a backwards J. The other 'tower' is the Arabic 'k'. Like 'k', it is written with a tall portion, so it looks similar to a J with a flat bottom. In the case of the word 'mubaarak', k is preceded by an Arabic 'r' (its the little squiggle between and slightly below your 'two towers'). The Arabic 'r' is what is also a disjointed letter, so the r and the k are not connected, which is why the tall part of k stands alone.

The 'extended, dual vertical strokes' are neccessary for the word mubaarak to be written.

Either the calligrapher was only following the standard rules of the Arabic alphabet, or he was a member of a vast Muslim conspiracy and had full knowledge of 9/11 months (if not years--I don't know when the calligraphy was done) before it happened. I know which choice is the more rational one.

Sorry, actually more of a large comma that starts in the 'baa'. FYI, if you really want to keeping believing in your consiracy theory, I'd focus on why the r starts in the 'baa'.

Well, you know, it's probably most likely that the people who invented the calligraphy style in the first place, all those ages ago, were told by the Space Masters, in orbit around Telos, the tenth planet, where the moogoo men live, that 9/11 was going to happen one day, when the stars were right, and so they invented this style of calligraphy just to coincide with it, as a signal to all followers of the Space Masters to rise up and kill all zionist pig doo-doo heads everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!

And if you listened to Jeff Rense, like me, you'd know that, too! : )

You mean like this conspiracy? This calendar is for the month of Sept, 2001. Is it a wild coincidence, or an instance of pre-knowledge?

Just out of pure curiosity, are you of Islamic or Arab descent? If you aren't, what made you want to study Arabic? Are you sympathetic toward the Islamist Terrorist, or are you a Gung Ho American? Or are you just plain confused?
