Watch this 10 minutes video or read the long article to find out more. Overall, Dubai is a success story like no other in the Middle East. And no, Dubai’s economy doesn’t rely on oil. In fact […]

Criticize Hosni Mubarak All You Want, No Problemo

Yeth yeth, of courth. The Egyptian government hath alwayth thupported free thpeech. Praith be to Hothni Mubarak, the greatetht prethident ever.
There were some tensions over U.S. criticism of human rights in Egypt. Rice told their press conference that in her talks with Mubarak and Aboul Gheit she brought up the issue of the detentions of […]

Prostitution in Dubai

PBS has an excellent report about prostitution in Dubai. It comes together with a 12 minute video clip which is very revealing and unique. It’s worth your time.
What caught my attention in this short documentary is that some women in Dubai aren’t forced into prostitution but that they actually voluntarily get involved in it. […]

Hot Porn Shall Bring Peace to the Middle East

Oh yeah baby!
The Vietnam War-era slogan “Make love, not war” has been taken to its logical extreme by an Israeli pornographic website, which is engaged in a sort of cultural exchange of bodily fluids with the Arab world.
According to a recent report in Daily Variety, when executives at Ratuv installed software that could track where […]

Fatah Lovely, Hamas Super Lovely!

I don’t need to say anymore. And you know what’s worse? I don’t even know what to propose as a solution. Who does? I predict Hamastan is going to be the scene of much bloodshed in the coming days. Salam Fayyad is probably the only light at the end of the tunnel. He’s the only […]

Interview With Migrant Workers in Bahrain

This was so difficult for me to read. It’s too damn heart breaking. I swear, I can’t believe how some people can manage to do this shit to other human beings and not even be bothered by it. Don’t they feel a single ounce of guilt?
I witnessed such treatment with my own eyes during my […]

Syrians Are Gonna LOVE This

Hehehehe, oh yes they will!

Attention: Sandmonkey On Podcast

You can listen to him right here in an interview on why he stopped blogging. Pretty interesting stuff. His blog was the most straight forward talking blog in all of the Middle East and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He’ll be missed.
UPDATE: WARNING, he says the the phrase “you know” more than a million times!

Iran’s Rise Is Not A Threat To Israel, It’s An Opportunity

And a pretty damn good one too if you ask me. The higher Iran rises in power and the bigger its influence in the region becomes, the more handshakes we can expect occurring between high ranking Arab and Israeli officials behind the scenes. Israel’s wet dream is having normalized relations with its Arab neighbours. The […]

Dhiyaa Al-Musawi: A True Voice of Reason

One word. SANITY! Oh such amazing sanity, it almost makes me want to cry. I’m loving this guy. You simply have to watch this video. Please watch it, pretty please with a cherry on top. I’m in complete agreement! If only we had more of him around and in the right positions.

Egypt & The Will of the People

Maybe Sandmonkey should read this post. Sigh!

The Arab 2002 Peace Initiative

It’s all over the news and it doesn’t look like a bad deal (or does it?):
Arab leaders are due to meet in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this week to re-launch a 2002 peace initiative that offers Israel peace and normal relations in return for a complete withdrawal to the pre-1967 war lines and a settlement […]

DC Anti-Mubarak Demo on Monday

Oh yeah, Sandmonkey has more info! America should really stop supporting dictators like this guy. But wait, if he goes, then the MB will most probably take over. Oh yeah, and a lovely war will start with Israel. Again. Sigh! Good luck Egypt. You’re going to need it. At least we Sudanese have had our […]
