From Bikya Masr:

Arabic-speaking Facebook users want the social networking website to add an "Insha'Allah" button to the platform for the Middle East. And Facebook seems ready to make the move to boost its regional presence.

According to Immanuel Simonsen from Multilingual Search, "Facebook has identified a strong wish from Arabic natives to include an "Insha'Allah" (Arabic term meaning "God Willing" that indicates hope for an aforementioned event to occur in the future) button for Facebook events."

While Facebook may not be the most popular social media network in the Arab world, this addition "looks to be the first new localized feature for the Arabic market."

"However small this current adding, it's indicative of Facebook now actively trying to adapt its product to better reflect and accommodate the specific needs of the Arabic world, and representatives from Facebook Arabia have already made it very clear that this is just the first of many alterations to come," says Simonsen.
How about a mini-Grad rocket button for Gazans? A "fatwa" button for Iranian clerics?

The possibilities are endless....
