"accidents"... At least in Egypt, Jordan and S. Arabia... I don't know if something is coming over from their various Arabic dialects when translated into English or that there is just a cultural difference in how they view horrific acts--wrapped around the belief that all is "Allah's will", but it always caught me off guard. Not just among Muslims either--my close Egyptian Coptic Christian friends always referred that way as well.

They were also fond of saying they didn't invent bribery and graft when utilizing both.

I think maybe concepts translate rather well even with a language/cultural barrier. Such as denial and rationalization.
