A whole bunch of reading links just from the last week, voila! As usual, there is a sort of system to it, but most important is what I find interesting and worthwhile to share.
The latest Arab Reform Bulletin highlights women in politics in the Gulf, among other issues.
Mustafa Can writes for Aftonbladet on Geert Wilders film on "islam" (if you ask me personally it probably says more about the filmmaker than anything else) and "Hatred's new clothes".
Inflation and rising food prices follow growth in Egypt. BBC reports here on this potentially volatile phenomenon.
Turkey's constitutional court acted sort of like an Aprils Fools joke the other day (although completely failing to be funny). That and prime minister Erdogan's visit to Stockholm this week has generated a lot of comment:

Being a young Roma in Europe holds several different dimensions, Dagens Nyheter highlights some of them in this interview.
Politics in Finland have had a lot of sex-related scandals recently, latest changing foreign ministers on account of it. I really don't know what's with these guys, grow up! is my advice...
