Anthony Shadid on Loss and Nostalgia in the Middle East
March 2, 2010 | Posted by Abu Muqawama - 1:25pm | 20 Comments
I just found this via Arabist. This is Anthony Shadid, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Middle East correspondent for the New York Times (and the Boston Globe and Washington Post before that), speaking at my alma mater.

not related, but couldn't (quickly) find your email on the site - interesting article - http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2010/03/01/oh_no_ug99. Original article found at http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/02/ff_ug99_fungus/all/1

Shadid left the conclusion open ended.
Think we all go through the discussion at some point in our lives. It is about evolution.
Most balanced reply I have heard to the discussion, and agree with is
................The experience made me the person I am today.
Interesting, why write a book that you don't think people will read? AM, think I heard you say that.
There was a BBC article about Blogging and its impact.
some books are not meant for
some books are not meant for mass consumption, the consuming masses being what they are...
I am new to this site. Looks more intelligent than many. So can you please explain to me, a Muslim American, why there is no interest in prevention-- why billions go to the military (not to mention to think tanks) while Muslim civil society is roundly ignored? Do folks think it is easy to create and sustain even basic culturally appropriate services, much less compete with the lure of internet and radical posturing? Our leaders are brought out as window dressing only. The disinterest (or hostility) is such that no one knows if we are 2.5 million or 6 million here in the US of A.
Nice that Qwilliam organized a fatwa event this week. But will 1.2 billion Muslims hear it? Each area must get involved while maintaining credibility, not being "coopted." WIth that balance in mind, my group (Muslim Consultative Network) organized a modest NYC Muslim discussion on radicalization. Short excerpts posted. Links below. Looking for partners!

@ademC First, you might want
@ademC
First, you might want to begin by redacting all the lines in the Koran in which your God specifically orders Muslims to kill, slaughter, decapitate and hate Christians and Jews.
Start with Suras 8 and 9, since the last suras supersede the previous more peaceful Meccan suras.
After you've redacted all the violent lines from the Koran, and are now just left with the peaceful lines, then you can work on those ridiculous haddiths that ban music and support the breast feeding on non-related females.
Actually, leave Rida'a al-Kabir alone, since elf is somewhat partial to it.
And how's this for intelligent:

The past was a lot more
The past was a lot more simple when we only had USPS. Since they are raising their rates, the rave is to use email (or is it the other way around). It is a shame cause USPS is considered private. Internet is pretty much anything goes. An email legally is considered a post card...it is open source.
Couple suggestions to avoid double posting by the same person with multiple user names......
1) Use a log-on. Not a guarantee, but it is a filter.
2) Since Win2000, the computer processor ID is made available in the information that is sent over the Internet. Internet Protocol defines a place for the host information in the routing packet. It can be stripped out and recorded. Your System Administrator can help you with this capability.
You may want to keep the AM forum open, which is a good thing. Knowing were the posting comes from is good from an acedemic point of view as it lets you sort the data by source and filter it. Building records is the killer ap for digital data.......
Good reference material, keep up the good work. Been an eye opener looking in all the new nooks and crannies the world offers us.
OR just leave it and let me,
OR
just leave it and let me, elf and Zak make sure the gays and muslims are in line when they start their whine.
The fact that public breast
The fact that public breast feeding is banned in most of the arab world is something that need to change - way too many children are not getting the nourishment that they deserve. I just checked out this article: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/02/ff_ug99_fungus/all/1 and i have to say i go along with the majority of what it says. Maybe if more muslim women knew how american women breast feed they might put more pressure on goverment :

Totally agree with you
Totally agree with you Jibran. Muslim mothers in US should do something. We the Muslims are lacking unity and this is the main issue. We should work on this first. nubrilliance
