Arabic with English subtitles.  Comedy, Green Screen, Live Action by adult fans.  This film is made in the Bollywood film style, with no touching between the sexes, which is also in accord with Islamic law.   Instead, the actors dance.  I have been whining like a high speed drill that there was no Arabic Trek.  Now, I'll have to content myself with whining that there is insufficent Arabic Trek.  Posted as a Comedy or Parody short here:  http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/208.html .  Also as a non-English Star Trek Fan Film here: http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/219.html .
