I learned whats this instrument called . Its a far, ha, jim was, or that they only exist in tunisia, just if you find a drum like this, you know, its from here, you know, anything like this on about. I know been our booker, the daughter book is bigger, this, heres the tunisian tomlin i did about get, ah, with alice envy that know initially tell me what moves you to dance italy unethical.

Then why anyway, the taboos that double blue tunisia again independence in 1956, but it took many decades and the arab spring for the country to start to transition to democracy when it comes to womens rights. Tunisia is one of the most liberal muslim countries in the region, though reforms are still sorely needed. Ah, fish dear for faith at heckman, im standing in front of bite on hickman. The house of wisdom seemed that house here in tunisia there are topics which many are reluctant to discuss out loud thema, the koran is one of them. Thats how thats why im meeting with dr. Cillian for city, a researcher who has helped recontextualize the corolla, hulu. In this library like 5 thick volumes and titled the koran texts and its variance. Dr. Celine worked on them for years, analyzing jewish and christian sources, as well as aramaic and syriac literature and the process. Yet the look coronel in the yearly nasdaq window and fool. The koran was revealed more than 1400 years ago. Yet he knows that window a feldman. How does it need to change in the 20 twentys when a fennel just a thought surely lazy me that i yet if he had that let the koran doesnt change, let god lead the higher a law kill the mentality about how we deal with the koran. Must change, he lives, he is those reading the koran to day and i will be to all to the way they approached the tests young the way of thinking. I bet them will.
