I read all the blog from your very first post up to now (skipping the learning Arabic parts;) ). I want to say thank you and want to say that I respect your work a lot! I was to shy to comment, your work as a blogger is very useful, informative and constructive and moreover sets for me an example what blogging can be used for (I am a small kid in comparison to you).<BR/><BR/>About the article you mention... I am greeting you form China, where I live for a little while, and you know...I also here "you shouldn't or do this..." or in our local version "it's not good to this...", and I wonder how long people can stand it... When you live in China for a long time enough you start to understand the words "freedom of speech" and "freedom of thought". This is what your today's post reminds me about. I am curious...do you have the feeling that while living in our home countries, we really do not appreciates these rights? I am sorry if this questions seems stupid to you, but it's curiosity coming from the experience of living abroad (which I do for most of my life).<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the information and wish you good day:)<BR/><BR/>ChristineChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296506645406299124noreply@blogger.com
