In the past ten days, Median al-Jazera’s opinion piece on 7iber regarding the closure of his iconic Amman spot, Books@Cafe, has sparked a great deal of controversy and even a religious debate. It even got the more observant people in the mainstream media to pay attention to the subject, both locally and internationally.

Ibrahim Oweis has put together a short documentary on the topic, interviewing various people and getting their contrasting opinions on the closure.

Wherever you stand on the issue, one thing remains true: the debate and dialog is essential.
