نشيك لي منو يا مكتبة جرير: ما الفرق بين الديناصور والسوداني النشيط؟

Quote: Azizy Abu Bakr I am grateful for your putting forward my views last time round in SOL's Discussion Forum & for translating it it in style as well. My visit to Bookplus in Abu Dhabi was on Friday 21 August 2009 as opposed to 22, which I have quoted in error. And my reference to those of us who are in the research field does not include me. I was hoping some of those working at research facilities (which I am not) around the world could pick up that task much easier than most. I read with much interest Dr. Siggig Hussein's remarks, which are of crucial importance for 3 reasons: (1) Choosing the best jurisdiction for the proposed law suit is vital especially if the Publisher (Jarir Bookshop) has presence in Europe or USA. In those countries Plaintiffs stand a much better chance of a proper hearing. There is also abundance of relevant Laws & legal procedures that makes the prosecution of the case easier & meaningful in terms of legal redress. (2) The racial slur in page 31 of the Arabic version of the book (Head First) was targeted at Sudanese as well as Black People at large; since there was another derogatory question on the same page that refers to a 'black slave with a green cap resembling an aubergine'. (3) Seeking support of appropriate NGOs who are active in these kind of issues would be quite beneficial to the cause. I Therefore think Dr. Hussein's views are worthy of further deliberation to engender wider support to this important cause. It does clearly show that this issue is now moving in the direction of some concrete action, whatever that may be. Perhaps he could elaborate on those views a bit more. It would also be of value to the cause if those readers in USA & Europe could carry this issue forward - for further discussion - in other forums that has wider readership. In essence this is now turning into a collective brainstorm, founded on solid principles, the results of which would most certainly be quite fruitful. best regards Ballah El Bakry
