"Last week's poll on Ma'an News Agency's website has revealed that approximately half of the readers of Ma'an's Arabic page [half of 16,000] supported the decision to destroy the collection of Palestinian folktales, 'Speak Bird, Speak Again'. However, on the English-language page, nearly all respondents thought the decision to destroy the anthology was "a bad omen for free speech".
I wonder what the 8000 enlightened people who approved the burning of the book would say if they were asked, "Do you support the burning at the stake of Sharif Kana'neh and Ibrahim Muhawi, the editors of Speak Bird, Speak Again?"
Actually, I don't want to know.
