I love the way greetings in Arabic are almost religious. Salam ali koum -- peace be with you -- people say. How are you? good? then Hamdulilah-- thank God.
God comes in play also whenever plans are being made for the future. You'll meet this deadline? We will talk again tomorrow? Inshallah -- God willing.
The devil gets his due too however, I've discovered. We have issued repeated reminders to editors to be sure to put photo credits on all the pictures they use. One of them smiled at my latest nagging and told me, "Unless the devil makes me forget, I will put credits on all the photos."
