I always liked the bit in Qathafi’s Green Book where it says, “It is an undisputed fact that both man and woman are human beings.” This photo over at Ammar Ibrahim’s suggests that the latter may be only partially acknowledged in Syria – or it may just be their spelling. “Hier is the factory” is obviously misconstrued French for “Hier, c’était une usine”, with “yesterday” being used in a fairly broad sense.
