Are any Arabs in Arab lands reading DU?

[rainy]

I'm currious. Are you out there?

1. I'm kicking because I want to know also.

Are you there?

Might be worth a try. At least she'll know there ARE anti-Bush
Americans around who want to throw the f**ker out of office and get our troops out of Iraq.

5. Have you been to

any of their forums to post a comment, read what they're saying, or post the url to DU? It might prove interesting.

6. Reading and posting not necessarily the same thing. nt.

8. They would be fools to answer here.

Places like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. don't take kindly to liberals. They would end up executed or in jail.
The only possible responses might come from Jordan, and they're kinda touchy after the King left Bush standing with his mouth open and everyone's criticizing him for it, and Iran, and they aren't Arabs.

11. or they might be disgusted at the arab bashing and islamaphobia in I/P

forum

[durutti]

15. Just the I/P forum?

It's more than that, unfortunately.

[corporatewhore]

16. so sad cause its true

[DrWeird]

17. Yeah, and all the ridiculous stereotypes.

9. Charles in Jordan, are you out there???

n/t

10. Interesting question.

I've been feeling for some time that we need to begin to build correspondences between people. Here at DU we've built a kind of community and camaraderie. We don't all agree on everything but we do agree on some things. Now, how does THAT as a kind of 'whole' interact with a different 'culture'?

Is it possible for one group of people to dialogue with other groups of people around the world?

[corporatewhore]

12. i doubt du would be a good one considering all the

arab/muslim bashing that goes on in the likudnik dominated I/P forum

[revcarol]

13. They could get in touch with the Kucinich camp.

Now THERE(DK) would be an honest broker.

[Beam Me Up]

14. You're right.

Interestingly, I know only one Arab person, a Quati (lives there), and she was all for the invasion of Iraq.

[bigbillhaywood]

18. one last kick for me
