"The Battle of Karbala' still rages between the two sides in the present and in the future. It is being held within the soul, at home and in all areas of life and society. People will remain divided and they are either in the Hussain camp or in the Yazid camp. So choose your camp." — 'Ashura' banner in Manama, 2006

Interview with the Bahrain Mirror
A few weeks ago a writer with the Bahrain Mirror--an electronic newspaper that has become a refuge for journalists after the temporary closure of Al-Wasat and the crackdown more generally--called to ask for an interview to discuss the blog and especially my survey project in Bahrain.
The story is now up (in Arabic of course).
Your knowledge of the internal Bahraini affairs makes you an expert more than any Bahraini.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your PhD
بالتوفيق
Ditto to the initial poster. You should put your dissertation up online once you get your PhD!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. The dissertation will be posted once I figure out when I'm allowed to.
