    Is it from George Orwell? If so, that’s one of my favorite writers and his words are almost prophetic about the times we are living in.

    Yes it is from Orwell. I have found that the quote applies across the board. A lot of whitewashing of history happens all the time - even amongst those we don’t think it is happening

    1984 indeed. Its ironic to see the so called “purists” in the magic kingdom erase the trace of Islamic history but preserve the national monuments. Oh the irony, the irony!
