- all their records (bapteme, mariage, funeral) are writing in Arabic
and when I said "Arabic" is classical Arabic, the same than for the Holy Koran

Hi Dom,
Not shocked at all just less usual in "my" experience and agreed language is not necessarily an indication of a particular 'belief system' but it may be a pointer in some circumstances. My own experience, which is limited, of weapons and related material that incorporates inlaid/inscribed Arabic script/numerals on the whole tend to have an Islamic origin, obviously in this instance that is not the case.
My Regards,
Norman.
