I am noticing that the post about the arabic calendar is bringing many visitors to Flextec blog. I am translating now the content of the post. The image is made by Khalid alDakheel.
Khalid alDakheel (Arabic: خالد الدخيل) (born 11 May 1981 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) is a Saudi Arabian cartoonist, animator and director. He is known as the first Saudi Arabian animation filmmaker and one of the first in the region.
Khalid began illustrating and creating cartoon characters when he was five years old. At 10, he started creating comics and at 18 years old, he published his first comic called Hassan al-Fannan in a Saudi comic magazine called al-Jeel al-Jadeed.

Translation of the post:
In the Christmas season there are many messages exchanged by SMS, email and post cards, wishing Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. With the new translation of existing tools such as Google, a few "intelligent people" send messages in different languages. Some are trying to make a pretentious image of worldwide executives. Few days ago I received an e-mail wishing Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in different languages, including Arabic. I don't know Arabic, but I went to Google and did the translation. Brilliant! As ridiculous as someone wishing a good Ramadan to a Christian, it very ignorant to wish a Merry Christmas to all Arabs. This gaffe (like Bush’s style at it's best) only shows ignorance and disrespect for other religions of the world (this ignorant executive must find himself in the Middle Age in Europe, when the Christian church was the center of the Universe and the other occupants of this planet were barbarians). Besides the Arabic calendar is different from ours. Officially, the Arabic calendar and cycle (the so-called Era of Hégira) had its beginning on July 16 in the year 622 of the Common Era, in a Friday. To wish a Happy New Year, we must be careful with the way it is presented. There is no direct correlation between our calendar (Gregorian) calendar and Arabic. Just know that the Arabs are in the year 1429.
