^yes, try that....if it was any kind of hack though sounds like it was just facebook, though weird all they would do is change the language. But, doesn't sound like a case of lap-top hacking.

I went to that link and my settings were already at English. But the problem is when I first login with e-mail address and password, it then goes to the Arabic fb page. I can then click on English at the bottom and get another login and then it goes to regular home page.

It might also be your browser's language settings... It sends a header to the server indicating your language preferences... In IE there is a setting somewhere under internet options (likely under the Content tab). On Chrome it is under advanced settings > Language and input settings. Firefox it is under Preferences > Content > Languages...
