Every time I hear or read about stuff like this- it really shocks me. Since I live in a country were everyone has a lot of personal freedom, I cannot begin to imagine what life is like if you do not have that. I am really sorry to hear about it.
well I think most of the world today even here in Syria, and arab contries and modern world miss understand freedom in it's real meaning, freedom have rules to control, there is nothing called ultimate freedom.
Every country has a situation that force it's leaders to behave in a certain way to devolope his country, may be this way looks bad to others ... but they are looking from their side, if you lived here, you would find that giving such freedom isn't possible at this stage, specially if you are dealing with an enemy (Israel- not OL).
I have to comment that dealing with Jews is something legal, in Islam, in Syria, in all the Arab countries, there isn't any problem dealing with Jews, and there are many of them here in Syria too, and in all the Arab world, no problem, but the problem is dealing with an enemy whoever was he.
and Morticia NL. I don't think that you will deal your country enemy, just like you wouldn't deal with your own enemy or will you
and if you really want to see OL live do as RashomoN, why not, I think I will do this myself next year, they play great music, the band members them self are great, they present the unity of cultures, and I like the guys over here and I would like to meet the guys who hang around, so why not
