Well, I have almost 40 degrees here and I guess I am not alone in it... :-) But maybe you will find something worth reading among these links anyways.... between panting and trying to cool down.
Most of these links are from swedish media this week.
One of my favourite Middle East journalists, Swedish Radio's Cecilia Uddén, has had a full four days of broadcasting her own afternoon talk programme on current affairs. You can find all of them here, to listen to on the web.
Also in Sweden, representatives of the government coalition parties have debated Middle East policy. You have examples here and here.
Svenska Dagbladet had this editorial on the "face of Muslim rage" where the same "angry young man" appears in photos in several angry protest of the past few years. The pertinent question of whether the few should represent the many is asked.
ICG has issued a new report on Iraq - centered on the dynamics in Basra, which is seriously underreported in international media (at least the media I read regularly, that is).
These pictures come from the BBC on the fuel unrest in Iran this week.
On the more cultural side, the press for an important archaeology find in Egypt, is presented by Dagens Nyheter. You can read about it in English from the BBC here.
Saturday update:
Newsweek had some interesting material this week, on Iran for instance and some extra webmaterial (which I haven't read yet myself). Also an article on radical islam and Martin Indyk on Hamas.
