I could not see from the pictures on the linked article, but they looked like they were written in Arabic. Here are some others from the same area. http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/mali/mali-exhibit.html
The documents above may or may not be representative of what the original aritcle was discussing.

Is it me or does it seem stupid for a two bit country to go around making threats at western countries with real militaries? No, it's not. In politics, it gains massive support of the population, because it looks brave, tough and defiant. Venezuela has nothing to lose, anyway. And I don't believe a...

The reasoning I have heard for this is that one party can influence the election by voting in the primaries for the weakest of the candidates from the other. If the oposition can vote in your primaries it can (I did not say will) influence the general elections. If one party can get the other to put...

Reminds me of a part of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show. There is a cloning machine that is broken. If they turn it off they will end up killing at least two clones. This would be murder. The owners of the cloning machine hire some lawyers to look into the problem. They end up re-eva...

Curious that the team is still called the "Jazz." Isn't jazz music a problem for fundies?

The franchise originally started in New Orleans and then later moved to Salt Lake.

The two major local Utah papers (Salt Lake Tribune) http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_3271385 and (Deseret News) http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,635165645,00.html have a little more detail on this. There isn't much detail as to wheather this was brought by the local members of American Atheists or...

Don't worry, the patent will expire long before anyone can actually build something that infinges.

Think about it: investigative journalism takes time, patience, and effort. Simply reciting each side's party line and then writing up op-ed pieces about them can be done in mere hours.

That's why I voted 24-hour news channels in the poll.[/quote]

I would have added another choice, media consolidation. There are now only about 3 or 4 TV news outlets that broadcast on several channels each. They each want to attract the sort of audience that they think will also attract the most advertisers. Since they have to differentiate themselves they sta...

It could also be that to really understand the humor of the Daily Show you actually have to be informed about what is going on.

From Joe Marino's first email. It's like someone took half a glass of milk and mixed it with have a glass of orange juice and stated, "Now I have the perfect drink!" This is a bad example. If the milk and the oj are both really cold and you sprinkle a little cinnamon on the top it is a rea...

But their ignorance of basic astronomy is not because they are poor students -- just the opposite, they have learned badly thought-out lessons by rote[.] "This is a case of students answering as they are taught rather than them just making a mistake," [Agata] said. I think this is the big...

"It's undeniable that the free-marketeers and Atlanticists have taken the lion's share in this commission," he told Le Figaro. I found this part very interesting. Wasn't the free market idea the primary reason the EU even came into existence? It seemed that one of the major reasons that i...

I may be thinking of a different program, but it sounds like one that I saw a few years ago. IIRC the idea was that the head of the sphinx was carved first from a rock that jutted up from the ground. Then many years later a different group of people came along, saw the head, thought it was neat and ...

Yes, but you're still speaking in generalizations. Can you not thnk of a specific example where you would overrule the will of the people with constitutional law, and then one where you would alter the constitution based on the will of the people? The Civil Rights movement in the 50's and 60' pitte...

That's a little extreme. I vote we put all the stupid people in one Glorious Arc and fly them all into the sun. That'll teach the sun to be so damn hot. We'll be rid of all the idiots too.

But then we would all be killed by a virulent disease contracted from an unexpectedly dirty telephone.

So you have to assume that the genetic mutation would be FAVORABLE to the species, and most mutations are quite decidely NOT. I have always thought of favorable mutations as something that helps with one of 3 things. 1. It helps you more easily get food 2. It helps you more easily not be food 3. It...
