It is frustrating because I am a westerner and I am used to total freedom in the United States but in the Middle East I feel that it is better to "play it safe". <br /><br />However, if there is something truly wrong in the way things are done. If people are being abused, how is it right to remain silent and pretend nothing is wrong? Only by voicing what needs to be changed, changes it right? <br /><br />I think great changes are made with great tact and grace and powerful leaders.Sarah Alihttp://www.sarahali.us/teaching-in-the-middle-east-blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-51734127538638442632013-01-22T03:05:42.597+04:002013-01-22T03:05:42.597+04:00hmmm. just to let you know that I have enjoyed rea...hmmm. just to let you know that I have enjoyed reading your posts, most of the time light and fun. it is unfortunate that you feel your safety is being threatened when it appears you are doing nothing wrong. but i think it is always good to keep in mind that change never happens without resistance, and the only change that I have read that you speak out for the progression of women in dhofari society, which is nothing to be ashamed of or wrong for advocating for and is certainly not in contradiction to the government's vision. so what if you are being watched - GOOD! that is what you want right ... at least you know your voice is being heard and making a little ruffle of impact otherwise they probably would never have bothered getting in touch with you. don't put out your light just because others have noticed it. I personally think it is wonderful that you take the time to have a voice and write about what you feel. i find it a bit bizarre that there would be interest on whether you are in touch with international human rights agencies - why are any human rights laws being broken?? maybe that should be the focus of the investigation rather than a blog about salalah weddings and ma3ajeen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-15741041309514239982013-01-22T01:13:13.638+04:002013-01-22T01:13:13.638+04:00Hi Nadia, I'm spellbound because I've alwa...Hi Nadia, I'm spellbound because I've always seen your blog<br />as an interesting free-thinking source of info about a country<br />I fell in love with at first sight really appreciating your ”bursts <br />related to women” without seeing you as an activist at all.<br />The 'we know who U are and where to find U' sounds like a <br />mafia curse to my Italian years but I do believe you have nothing<br />to hide, anyway as you wisely said, there're many other ways to<br />do good for your wonderful country, nonetheless I'll miss your<br />unique insights.

I know it is none of my business to suggest it, as decisions are entirely yours, but as an older person I deem it to be an obligation to part with some little advice helpful to the young. <br /><br />In 2013 write less of politics and more of social enhancements for your immediate surroundings particularly women empowerment and other relevant issues. <br /><br />That is my 2 cents.<br /><br />Mti<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-22598470572294683852013-01-20T04:15:29.794+04:002013-01-20T04:15:29.794+04:00the situation is scary :'(the situation is scary :'(<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
