just inquiry

I wonder why the ignoring of the authors of the Arab poets and storytellers at this forum

The Arabs are equally place on their peers from Western poets

Is there any explanation for that

Not sure about being "ignored"...but this is an English-language forum. But I see that you have started a thread about Arab poet Nizar Qabbany :)

Dear
I mean what is the reason for lack of interest ,in this forum, Arab poets

I think that the Arab poets of the best poets of many Westerners

But Arab writers deserve attention?

Many Western writers stole works by Arabs

Unfortunately, that is ignored those great Arab poets

You must be read in other cultures

Excuse me Muhammed there are several threads in the General literature (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4) section that deal with this issue, non English/ western literature that is. I do not believe that on the whole arab authors are ignored more than any other not 'English' or highly main stream literary author, and they are not precisely ignored per say its more a fact that they are generally speaking less universally accessible than mainstream works . In fact the forum book club is reading a book by an Egyptian author this year ( or have you already read it ? dont tell me I missed it ! :eek: )
As for steal thats a bit harsh dont you think?
