I have been travelling for the last week and before that my computer and internet access were wobbly for a bit, so these reading links are all from late in February or early in March. I give a summary introduction, but the structure is quite random...
First an opinion piece from Expressen on angry muslims... Svenska dagbladet discusses publications of muslim images visavi the cartoon issue.
Here, Gulf News commented on the World Bank report on the Middle East knowledge economy that I previously shared with you. It is probably the single most important regional challenge.
Also from Gulf News, on Fairouz and the buzz of Syrian-Lebanese politics.
Dagens Nyheter reviews a book by Iranian-Swedish philosopher Mohammad Fazlhashemi on islam in today's world.
BBC on the jailed Saudi blogger Fouad al-Farhan.
Svenska Dagbladet interviewed Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt on developments in the Middle East, late in february.
Al-Jazeera writes on the origins of the present Arab-Israeli conflict.
Turkish Today's Zaman has a travel article on Antakya. As you may remember, we spent New Year's 2 years ago there, later crossing to Aleppo. This blogg held pictures from both places at the time.
Svenska Dagbladet on Dubai's spectacular architecture, another topic this blogg has recently touched upon!
Aftonbladet on Swedish children's detective Ture Sventon - very 50's very orientalist and very cool!
Svenska Dagbladet on Turkey's motives in Kurdish northern Iraq. Financial Times here on the same topic.
LA Times on isolating Iran. And a New York review of books op-ed on the same topic.
Vanity Fair writes on Gaza.
