Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We muse use it while we can.

    A “tiny minority in an overwhelmingly Muslim country,” Reuters reported on March 22, Moroccan Christian converts see in the pope’s visit an opportunity to convey their demands in the country’s highest places.

    Jawad El Hamidy, the head of the Moroccan Association for Religious Rights and Freedoms, told Reuters that while “foreign Christians” are visible and free to exercise their religious rights, Moroccan converts are barred from fully embracing their religion.

    “We want laws that protect religious minorities in the country on an equal footing. We will seize the pope’s visit to put more pressure on the state to protect religious freedoms,” he said.

    Hamidy’s association has reportedly addressed the Vatican a letter to denounce Morocco’s alleged discrimination of its Christians. The group is said to be planning to organize sit-ins on the eve of Pope Francis’ visit.

    The Coordination of Moroccan Christians, another group raising concerns over Morocco’s treatment of Christian converts, said they wanted to take advantage of the pope’s visit to “to launch a sincere dialogue on religious freedom for Moroccan citizens.”

    Morocco as an example of religious tolerance
    But Moroccan authorities have dismissed the groups’ claims, arguing that Morocco does not violate religious freedoms.

    “There is no persecution in Morocco and there is no discrimination on the basis of faith,” Reuters quoted government spokesperson Mustapha El Khalfi as saying…”
