في بلاد يغتال فيها المفكرون، ويكفر الكاتب
وتحرق الكتب، في مجتمعات ترفض الآخر، وتفرض الصمت على الافواه والحجر على
الافكار،
وتكفر اي سؤال، كان لابد ان استأذنكم ان تسمحوا لي..
In a country where thinkers are assassinated, and writers are
considered infidels and books are burnt, in societies that refuse the
other, and force silence on mouths and thoughts forbidden, and to
question is a sin, I must beg your pardon, would you permit me?
