Let Freedom Ring; North Africa!

I know several brothers from the North African region; for years they have talked about the human rights problems in their homelands.  For an example, Salat told me that under the some of these governments a man can be arrested for not wearing a beard and under other governments a man can be arrested for wearing a beard.  In some cases a man can be arrested if he doesn’t observe Ju’mah or Friday’s prayers.  I’m happy these people are uprising about their natural freedoms and human rights.  I would suppose, violence in those regions of the world would cease or reduce to nothing after people buck these oppressive/repressive regimes.  In many cases these, so called, Islamic States are a disgrace and cover-up for out of controlled political power.  I support the will of those people as they struggle to replace dictatorship with Democracy or some form thereof.
