Protesters have described the Culture Ministry's decision to demolish the Phoenician port as "terrorism." (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)

I guess I don’t understand the reasoning behind going ahead with construction at this point. “We don’t know what it is or what historical or cultural importance it represents, but we definitely know it is not a port, so it should be paved over.”

I am curious to know what it is now.

The idiots who abuse words and terms such as terrorism, to name just one, should be introduced to the actual real meaning of the words they abuse.

A good beating with a clue x 4, or an iron spiked clue-bat, for example.
