Dhofari Gucci is trying to decide whether it's safe enough to publish my thoughts on the recent Public Prosecution attack on bloggers and online activists. I just feel uneasy about the whole thing. I've been reading others' thoughts with interest. some condemn the attacks. Others are just .... meh. Read this BS and this BS. The reaction in the Arabic blogosphere is rather mild. People are afraid. Fear is a bad thing. The End. Oh, and if you read Arabic, Majlis Al Dawla has condemned the prison sentence for journalists. and my favorite Arabic blogger and friend Mahfaif has some valid opinions over here. Sigh. It's been raining everyday now for the past four days. Monsoon is here, folks. The sun is gone. Come on over!

It's been raining everyday? Are we really living in the same city?! There hasn't been any rain where I am! Oh, and please do share your thoughts with us. You dont seem to write much anymore. I miss your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteDid u hear the discussion yesterday in al wisal? Very open and transparent. I don't think there is a reason to be scared If you know what will you write is not offensive and doesnt include other people's names with accusation you are not sure of.
