If somebody is willing to honestly pledge allegiance to this country I don't care if they do it in Martian.

Yeahhhhhh but. It's a tough call. If they were doing five different languages I get it but was Arabic the best way to kick it off ... where the towers came down? Maybe it's too soon ... I don't know. I probably would have erred on the side of caution. Like I said, tough call and feelings run a lot stronger in the NY Metro area than they do in other parts of the country.

...and since the Congress has yet to codify American English as the official language in the US, it's going to continue to be an issue.
