I have tried to post a comment here and every time I try the form refreshes the comment or gives an error. Do you think someone possibly look into why there is a problem?

I enjoyed reading this commentary. I had never considered the argument(s) that in contrast to oral societies, literate societies use the pen “to change the world.” I disagree with a few of the claims*, but it contains many interesting linguistic observations. Perhaps look at what is happening with literature in Egypt; news in the publishing world is that publishing is thriving there.

The claims about oral vs. literate culture in other world religions, including the claim about Islam and the written word, should probably be developed and supported more. Interesting, but I couldn’t accept it, unfortunately.
