Iraqi Translation Project لأن عقوداً من الظلام الفكري لا تنتهي إلا بمعرفة الأخر الناح..لابد من الترجمة
In the last decade, social media and the internet have played a significant role in shaping the awareness of young people in the Arab World. However, Arabic digital content is extremely poor in general, where pseudosciences and superstition materials are forming most of it. Adding to that the uprising wave of radical extremism, which uses modern technology to spread their ideology and threatens modernity.

This can be done, among other means, by translating reliable, state-of-the-art, and open-access articles, educational videos, and documentaries.
