In his column, Mohammed al-Rasheed advises Iyad Madani, the new minister of information to "concentrate on culture, not banning books." However, I disagree with him on the mechanism he suggested to solve the issue of censorship of books. Employing people to read all books published and then publishing a monthly list of banned books is not a solution. I don't understand why the writer spent some of his precious time writing such column when he knows what the ultimate solution is. He writes in the very last paragraph: "We must keep in mind, however, that the ultimate solution lies in the steps taken in other Arab countries: Shut it down." # »
