Let's face it - think of Africa, and the first images that come to mind are of war, poverty, famine and flies. How many of us really know anything at all about the truly great ancient African civilizations, which in their day, were just as splendid and glorious as any on the face of the earth? ↗

What the feminists want of me is something they haven't examined because it comes from religion. They want me to bear witness. ↗
