[Foundation-l] [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2008 will happen in Alexandria, Egypt

[Waerth]

Theoratically it should be. Practically it isn't ..... nowhere. Every 
country in the world has laws that suppress this. It is on our wishlist 
yours and mine. When you visit the Vatican you will not get far in a 
miniskirt or short trousers. You will be refused in any temple you want 
to visit in Bangkok. Same in Egypt. When you go to another country there 
are different laws. Abide by them or reap the consequences. If you 
feelyou want to go and preach "western" so called standards wherever you 
go you will find yourself unwelcome in virtually any country. Apart from 
your freedoms, local people also have the freedom to make their own 
laws! Pertaining to their own cultural standards.
