lora brunckeAs the cradle of civilization, their history goes back to the beginning of Man’s written word.
I travelled North Africa in the 70’s and loved every minute of it - the people, the land and the culture. In Libya, the desert comes right up to the beach for miles. It is an amazing drive. The people we met were the nicest people I met my whole life and I have been many places. The Egyptians loved us and treated us with kindness and respect.
During the Crusades, I read that the men in the Arab countries all spoke the same language. No Babel for them.
We must go forward, not back. Censorship stops the building of knowledge.
Not good now that we know we are in grave danger of becoming extint as a species.
Mind you, if it is porn that the are censoring I am all for it. Porn is not freedom to speak, but freedom to abuse.
