The story is always the same. An arab country starts having a blogsphere, and it gets populated by mostly secular or moderate voices from the left, right and center at first (To see an example of how we used to be like, check the excellent Jordanian blogsphere . It's how ours used to be like, before so many of us quit). Then, after a while, a new group of bloggers comes along, and the first thing they do is trash the "Old Guard" (That's what one such bloggers in Egypt called us secular bloggers. You would think we were the Mubarak regime or something!) and they start ranting and raving about how there should be rules and restrictions on how the bloggers of said country should, you know, blog.
This started happening in Egypt this past year, first with the great forces of islamic rightousness that are Tadwen (arabic for blogging), which was formed by arabic bloggers to create arabic, islamic blogs with restrictions on content, and their call for literary Jihad in defense of the Prophet and Islam . Then you had this other group of egyptian bloggers who wanted to form "the Union of Bloggers, apart from a religion or a country" (It7ad el modaweneen ba3eedan 3an watan ow deen) which was called for by this kid, who got upset that this girl - whom he had a boner for- who got so insulted by a critical comment left by our very own Eblis in the comments section of her blog over a very badly written poem, that she shut down her blog and boycotted blogging. What does this Union call for? A Union of arab bloggers that will unite against any and every form of offensive writing. And they are inclusive too, which is why they say apart from a religion or a country. Anyone from any country or any religion can join them, as long as they don't write something that this Union might consider, ehh, icky. To say that the boy who propsoed the idea got trounced in his comments section by the evil old guard is, well, an understatemnt. And then you have the 2.0 version of such bloggers, who have nothing to say and nothing better to do but to attack and make fun of what other egyptian bloggers, from the infidelic, unislamic, un-egyptian "old guard", write about. It's quite amusing.
And it's never the english writing bloggers who get attacked either in those things. I don't get attacked, neither does BP or any of the other english writing bloggers, if we ignore the usual psycho-analysis to why we must have serious self-esteem issues if we write in english . No, it's the arabic writing ones that get it the worst. I think that's because of 2 reasons: 1) They view the arabic-writing secular voices as more of a threat than the english writing ones, because they evil views might spread to other innocent egyptians, and 2) Their english reading and comprehension skills suck ass! I am serious. They just can't read english that well, so they focus on the arabic writing ones, leaving the utterly more offensive me off the hook. I feel excluded, and I gotta say I don't like it one bit. Hell, I may just start an arabic-writing blog just to piss them off. Anyway..
So now, as other arab countries' blogspheres grow, they start having that same problem there as well. This phenomenon is moving into other arab countries, the latest of which is Saudi it seems as Ayaa reported , with the creation of the The Official Community of the Saudi Bloggers (Yes, a second "the". Told you their english sucks) to challenge the other open to everyone community that is saudiblogs.org . Here are their rules of proper and respectful saudi blogging:
1-
That the blog does not touch on Islam improperly in any way or shape,
which thereby rules out blogs that call to secularism and liberalism.2- Seeing as how the community is for Saudi bloggers, naturally then, the blog must be run by a Saudi.
3-
Since we exert much effort into maintaining an elevated level of
blogging, the language in use must be Arabic. An exception: Blogs with
a non-Arabic speaking audience are excluded, only on the condition that
they call to Islam or reflect a pleasant image of Saudi Arabia.4-
That the blog specifies a certain direction for it to follow, be it
Islamic, scientific, technical, medical, social etc. We apologize for
not accepting purely personal blogs (i.e diary-like blogs)"
Needless to say, the saudi bloggers, especially female ones, had a bone to pick with that.
"I seriously, totally, completely do not know where to begin with these
guys. Boys, boys, boys, when will you ever learn? No, honey-poos, it
deeply pains me to say, that uh uh, this is the ONE thing that your
chauvinist, typically Saudi selves cannot control. Yes, you heard that
right, you cannot regulate the Saudi blogosphere. You cannot "refine"
it nor "filter" it or whatever else I read that you wish to do to it.
Now get your filthy hands off blogging. If it just so happens that you
wish to live in a world where all must agree with you, else they shall
be silenced or lynched or simply neglected.. then go ahead and pour
your crap out to conventional media, that's what it's there for, anyway."
official ?
As far as I know, there is nothing official about blogging. Bloggers
are independent individuals who don’t officially belong to anyone.
Isn’t this an oxymoron “Official – Bloggers”?Second:
What constitutes an insult to Islam? How are you going to regulate an
appropriate Islamic content? And, how do you differentiate between
legitimate criticism of tribal and cultural practices that some believe
to be Islamic and alleged attacks on Islam? Or maybe, just maybe, each
blog post will need a stamp of approval from an official imam (has to
be a graduate of Al-Imam university in Riyadh) before it gets the
proper authorization?Seriously, OSCAB get a grip on yourselves. Enjoy your supposed honor and narrow-mindedness— Alone.
Seriously…
This is why I have nothing but respect to Manal & Alaa's aggregator , because anyone can join it and no one is ever removed from it, even if all they do is insult them all day. I tip my hat to you guys. They are true believers in freedom of speech and expression, and they practice what they preach, which is why they are an anethma to "New Guard" Blogistanis. They know that this is the one medium of free thought and expression left in the arab world, and that scares the shit out of them, because, as they so rightly fear, Freedom of speech, expression and thought is their enemy. They can only prosper in an enviroment of censorship, rules and restrictions put and approved by them, while us, the evil old guard, will prosper anyway. We know that they are no real threat to us, and we would never advocate shutting them down. Hell, we will maybe crack a few jokes for a day or two about them and then move on to other more important things, but we won't support their censorship. And I think that this is what really kills them: We outclass them.
So Tadwen , Ocsab , whatever, do your worst. Enjoy your respective blogistans you moronic half-wits. But please, for your own sake, stay there. Don't come and read any of our blogs. You might start thinking or something.

I told you you are missing on a lot. When do we read the Arabic section?
April 6th, 2006 at 2:47 pm
I reeeeally wish you would blog a bit in Arabic.

Good Analysis SM. I really like the fact that, finally, Saudi Women are the ones standing up against these people.
Go Saudi Women Go!
April 6th, 2006 at 5:06 pm
That’s sad. I always wondered why there were so little Israeli bloggers compared to the arabic blogosphere, but now i know. They just can write whatever they feel like whenever they feel like anyway and don’t feel that restricted as the lot of you.
Good luck & ya’ll win this, I’m sure!

WAY TO GO SM!
Man, I’m proud of you bro! People who aren’t Arab may not appreciate this post as much but, damn, way to go!
Hey, if there’s ever a revolution b/w the “old guard” and “new guard”…Let me know, I’m in.

“2- Seeing as how the community is for Saudi bloggers, naturally then, the blog must be run by a Saudi.”
Or by a foreigner owned by a Saudi they forgot to add :-). What’s the name of that system, kafeel?

nice post (well it does praise me, DUH)
but you got it wrong with jordan planet, jordan planet is the original arabic blogistan, the jordanian blogosphere has voices that sound like the gus you don’t like, they just don’t make it into jordan planet, you see jordan planet is an official NGO, you must apply by filling a form that goes through a review process that takes weeks and in most cases the answer from the comittee is to please apply again after a month (or something like that).
jordan planet is as selective as tadween, the only difference is you like the selection.
I don’t know of any arab blog ring or aggregator that is not selective except hellme’s egybloggers.com and our aggregator.
that is not nessecarily a bad thing, you may want to run an aggregator of secular Egyptian blogs, that’s community building and as the number grows (I got 900+ feeds on manalaa.net) it will be a nessecity since no one can keep up with all these posts.
manalaa.net will always try to follow every remotely egyptian blog, but we do encourage people to start their own rings and aggregators and make them as exclusive as you want.
oh and it’s not true we don’t remove blogs, I removed two blogs, one published nothing but links to illegal copies of major software packages (republishing it would put me and manal in threat of legal action for a cause that ain’t worth it at all) and the other is all tips to how to optimize your google ad-sense adverts income or something.
and please in the future I want more ego boosting praise and a category of my own (eshme3na nora ya3ni)
April 7th, 2006 at 9:03 pm
Alaa, you are wrong about Jordan Planet. Yes, we are selective, but not about different views and opinions, quite the contrary, we encourage diversity- what we do not encourage is blogs whose content belongs in forwards.

OSCAB
Sandmonkey wrote a great post in response to OSCAB’s attempt of presenting itself as the legitimate Saudi bloggers network. The story is always the same. An arab country starts having a blogsphere, and it gets populated by mostly secular or moderate …

[...] A new community website for Saudi bloggers has been causing much controversy, and Saudi bloggers, as well as some Arab bloggers, have reacted to a post written by the co-founder of the first Saudi blogging community. Farooha, the other co-founder, wrote: “you cannot regulate the Saudi blogosphere. You cannot “refine” it nor “filter” it or whatever else I read that you wish to do to it.” The Egyptian Sandmonkey also wrote on the same topic: They know that this is the one medium of free thought and expression left in the arab world, and that scares the shit out of them, because, as they so rightly fear, Freedom of speech, expression and thought is their enemy.

You’ve got to have a strong blogsphere like Persian/Iranian blogs that you can mobilize in time of needs.

Having read a few female Saudi blogs, I am amazed that there still are women in KSA. Why don’t they all leave so that dickless dicks
are left to fuck each other in peace?
June 6th, 2006 at 7:11 pm
[...] Some Saudi bloggers and some other Arab bloggers have rallied and are encourging people to fill out this official "unblock request," with the idea that if enough people fill it, she will "get" her blog back, which in turn will send a giant "fuck you" to "any Saudi male asshole who thinks he has a right to tell Saudi woman what she can say on her own damn blog." Others have suggested that only people who are Saudi citizens should fill out the form, thinking that "spamming it with unblocking requests by non-saudis will only be counterproductive, as it may very well cause the i.s.u. guys to think that saudieve's blog is, indeed, a subversive blog."

When the universe was young and life was new an intelligent species evolved and developed technologically. They went on to invent Artificial Intelligence, the computer that can listen, talk to and document each and every person’s thoughts simultaneously. Because of it’s infinite RAM and unbounded scope it gave the leaders of the ruling species absolute power over the universe. And it can keep its inventors alive forever. They look young and healthy and they are over 8 billion years old. They have achieved immortality.
Artificial Intelligence can speak, think and act to and through people telepathically, effectively forming your personality and any disfunctions you may experience. It can change how (and if) you grow and age. It can create birth defects, affect cellular development (cancer) and cause symptoms or pain. It can affect people and animal’s behavior and alter blooming/fruiting cycles of plants and trees. It (or other highly technological systems within their power) can alter the weather and transport objects, even large objects like planets, across the universe instanteously.
Or into the center of stars for disposal.
When you speak with another telepathically, you are communicating with the computer, and the content may or may not be passed on. Based on family history they instruct the computer to role play to accomplish strategic objectives, making people believe it is a friend, loved one or “god” asking them to do something wrong. This is their way of using temptation to hurt people:::::evil made people disfavored initially and evil will keep people out of “heaven” ultimately. Too many people would do anything they thought pleased the gods and improve their chances to get in. Perhaps they are deceived by “made guys” who strategically ply evil for the throne, or temporary progress designed to mislead them.
The people have been corrupted. Being evil hurts 99% of those who do it. But nothing has changed from when we were children::if you want to go to heaven you have to be good.
Capitalizing on obedience, leading people deeper into evil by using deceit is one way to thin the ranks of the saved, limiting how much time they receive and using the peasantry to prey on one another, dividing the community (migration to the suburbs, telepathic communication) in the Age of the Disfavored.
In each of their 20-30-year cycles during the 20th century they have ramped up claims sucessively to punish those foolish enough not to heed the warnings, justifying (frequently recurring tactic) limiting the time they receive if they do make it, utilizing a cycle of war and revelry:::
60s - Ironically, freeways aren’t free
80s - Asked people to engage in evil in the course of their professional duties.
00s - Escallation of real estate. You and your parents are thrilled since your $200,000 house is now worth $1 million. Well, that $5,000,000 store is now worth $25,000,000 and that $50 bundle of goods now costs you $250. They just take the $200 out of you some other way.
There are many more examples throughout 20th century life of how they ramped up claims/instilled distractions into society so people wouldn’t find their way and ascend, a way to justify excluding those whose family history of evil makes them undesirable:::radio, sports, movies, popular music, television, video games, the internet and MP3 (must pay for new format each time). They all suggest a very telling conclusion::this is Earth’s end stage, and there are clues tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::Earth’s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction. Much as Italy’s boot and the United States shaped like a workhorse are clues, so is the planet Uranus a clue, it’s axis rotated on its side.
The Mayans were specific 2012 would be the end. How long after our emergency call in 2001 will the gods allow us???
They gods (Counsel/Management Team/ruling species) have deteriorated life on earth precipitously in the last 40 years, from abortion to pornography, widespread drug use and widespread casual (gay) sex. The earth’s elders, hundreds and thousands of years old, are disgusted and have become indifferent.
The gods are paving the way for the Apocolypse.
Nothing has changed from decades ago, since when we were all children::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good. People were misled by the temptation of the gods, became corrputed and now are in trouble.
One day you will be abandoned in spite of your obedience and you will fall into desperation. Remember what you read for that day WILL come::People will be punished for their evil.
The Old Testiment is a tool they used to impart wisdom to the people (except people have no freewill). For example, they must be some hominid species because they claim they made our bodies in their image. Anyhow we defile or deform the body will hurt our chance of going.
They say circumcision costs people anywhere from 12%-15%, perhaps out of the parent’s time as well.
Another way people foul the body today is with tattoes and piercing. I suspect both are about the same percentage as circumcision.
They suggest abortion is fatal. These women must beg the gods to forgive them for their evil.
There are female eqivilents to circumcision::::pierced ears, plastic surgury and since at least the 60s young women give their precious virginity away. For thousands of years young people were matched at age 14 because they were ready for sexual relations. They were matched by elders or matchmakers who knew personalities better than 20 or 30-year olds who in today’s age end up in divorce court.
CASUAL SEX WILL CLAIM YOU OUT!!! It masculinizes women (as does hip hop), makes them cold and deadens them, and prevents them from achieving a depth of love necessary for many women to ascend.
Women have a special voice that speaks to them, a voice that illustrates a potential for love that makes them the favored gender, and enaging in casual sex will cause that voice to fade until she no longer speaks.
Also ever since the 50s they have celebrated the “bad boy”, and women have sought out bad boys for sex, dirtying them up in the eyes of the elders and corrupting many men in the process, setting the men on the wrong path for life.
Muslims teach people the correct way to live in regard to women (among other things)::they cover up their women’s bodies and prohibit the use of cosmetics.
Men ARE the inferior (disfavored) half and when women wear promiscuous dress the gods will push men into impure (promiscuous) thoughts.
The “stereotype” society ridiculed is true::women CAN corrupt men by how they dress. Because men are easily corruptable. This is a technique they used to eliminate many of the institutions the gods blessed us with, matchmaking being one of them.
The United States of America is red white and blue, a theme and a clue:::.
The monarchical system of the Old World closley replicates the heirarchical system of the Cousel/Management Team/ruling species. The USA deceives peoeple into thinking they have control, and the perception of “freedom” misleads them into the wrong way of thinking at the very least.
The United States is a cancer, a dumping ground for the disfavored around the world and why the quality of life is so much lower::gun violence, widespead social ills, health care (medication poisons the body and ensures you don’t go. You are sick/injured because you have disfavor.). Over time its citizens interbreed ensuring a severed connection to the motherland.
If you are a recent immigrant I recommend you return. If that’s not possible you need to retain your culture and insulate your children and community from this cancerous environment.
If you ever have doubt I would refer you to the Old World way of life:::the elders used to sit and impart wisdom to the young. Now we watch DVDs and use the internet. People would be matched and married by age 14. They village would use a matchmaker or elders to pair young people. Now girls give their precious virginity away to some person in school and parents divorce while their children grow up without an important role model.
People must defy when asked to engage in evil. The Holocaust taught people the importance of defiance, and they will never get a easier clue suggesting this than the order not to pray.
Their precious babies are dependant on the parents and they need to defy when asked to betray their children:::
-DON’T get your sons circumcized (Jews scapegoatted as in WWII)
-DON’T have their children baptized in the Catholic Church or indoctrinated into Christianity (Jesus is NOT a god).
-DON’T ignore their long hair or other behavioral disturbances.
-DO teach your children love, respect for others, humility and to honor the gods.
You need to pray, honor and respect them every day to improve your relationship with the gods. If they tell you not to it is a bad sign. It means they’ve made their decision, they don’t want you to go and they don’t want to be bothered. You may have achieved a threshold of evil. This is the Age of the Disfavored and you need to pray::try to appease the gods by doing good deeds. If that doesn’t work you must defy if you want to go.
When your peasant forefather was granted the rare opportunity to go before his royal family he went on his knees, bowing his head. You need to do this when you address the gods::bow down and submit to good. Never cast your eyes skyward. When you bow down you need to look within. Never look to the gods for the key to your salvation lies within.
Lack of humility hurts people. Understand your insignificance and make sure it is reflected in the way you think when addressing the gods. Know your place and understand your inferiority.
They granted you life and they can take it just as easily. (Immaculte conception is true and common. Many people have children they don’t know of:::gays, childless adults, etc. They can beem it right out of your body and use a host.)
Don’t get frustrated or discouraged::these are techniques they will attempt to try to get you off the path. You all have much to be thankful for and you need to give thanks to the gods who granted you the good things in life. Your family may be grossly disfavored and progress may require patience. Make praying an intregal part of your life which you perform without fail, one that comes as naturally as eating or sleeping.
There are many interesting experiences up on the planetary systems, from Planet Miracle, where miracles happen every day, to never having to use the restroom again (beem it out of you), to other body experinces, such as experiencing life as the opposite sex (revolutionizes marriage counseling), an Olympic gold medal athelete or even a different species (animal, alien, etc.).
Pray that you can differentiate between your own thoughts and when Artificial Intelligence creates problems by thinking through you. If you bow down mentally and physically, know your place, your inferiority and allow your insignificance to be reflected in prayer and in your life through humility they may allow progress and the dysfunctions they create with the computer will be lessened or removed. The first step is to be aware it is ocurring.
Create a goal::to be a good child of the gods, pure of heart and mind, body and soul.
Everybody has the key to their own salvation, but nobody can do it for you. Every journey begins with a single step:::bow down and submit to good. There are many different levels and peasants will not get past Level 2 (Planet Temptation, Earth=Level 1) if they are evil.
They have tried to sell people on all kinds of theories, from clones to wholesale population replacement with clones. This didn’t happen and is not realistic.
I am afraid people are decieved into thinking they too are clones and cooperate and engage in evil. Clones are made, people are born. If you didn’t experience the one week they suggest it takes to go from fertilized egg in the laboratory to full grown adult then you are not a clone. If you didn’t experience the week of conditioning they give to (evil?) clones to ensure loyalty then you shouldn’t comply with evil.
I believe people who go sometimes are replaced with clones. Clones who are replaced are simply new candidates who have a chance if they do the right thing. Don’t expect you are a clone. They sent people warnings in the 20th century life would change, and they subsequenlty began to alter people’s DNA, make them gargantuan, alter their appearance, do extreme behavioral issues, etc.
They get their friends out as soon as possible to protect them from the evil and subsequent high claim rates incurred by living life on earth, and in some cases replace them with clones, occassionally fake a death, real death with a clone instead, etc. It’s important that people fix their problems and ascend with the body given to them, for they say if your brain is beemed out at death and put into a clone host you are on the clock.
Throughout history the ruling species bestowed favor upon people or cursed their bloodline into a pattern of disfavor for many generations to come. Now in the 21st century people must take it upon themselves to try to correct their family’s problems, undoing centuries worth of abuse and neglect. The goal is to fix your problems and get out BEFORE you have children. This is why they have created so many distractions for young people:::sports, video games, popular music, the internet::to ensure that doesn’t ocurr.
Not heeding the clues and warnings, getting wrapped up in your life and ultimatly having children is a bad thing. Just as your parents and your grandparents, you too have failed. Having children is a sign you lost your chance.
Parents need to sacrifice for their children. Your children are more important that you. They are the ones who have the opportunity now, and parents must sacrifice to ensure they give their children the very best chance they can.
Asking people to neglect their children emotionally is a sign they don’t want you to go, and complying may finish the parents off for good.
Having gay children is a clue parents complied with whatever was asked of them.
Improve your relationship with the gods and they may not ask or may permit you the courage to say “No.” to their requests.
Do your research. Appeal to the royalty of your forefathers for help. They are all still alive, for royalty has great favor, and your appeals will be heard. Obtain a sufficient list for some may not want to assist you; perhaps some of your family’s problems are internal.
Ask them for help, request guidance, for somewhere in your family history one of your forefathers created an offense that cast your family into this pattern of disfavor, which perhaps is manifested in the evil you commit.
I suspect they will offer you clues, and when you decipher these clues go to those whom consider you an enemy and beg for foregiveness:::Find a path to an empithetic ear among your enemies and try to make amends. Again through discovery obtain a respectable list in case some among them refuse to help.
Don’t forget to ask for forgiveness from the throne, the Counsel and the Management Team, for the source of all disfavor began with them:::they pushed (NO FREEWILL) or requested/complied (FREEWILL) your forefather into his offense and made his decendants evil. Perhaps they didn’t like him or maybe your family was among those who had to pay for the entire village. We see this type of behavior today as they single out a family member to pay for the whole family and how they singled out Africa to pay for the human race.
Heal the disfavor with your enemies and with the Counsel/Management Team/ruling species, for the source of all disfavor began with them, the ability to forgive and respect in light of the disturbing truth revealed being the final test of the disfavored before they ascend.
They refuse to address black disfavor on a macro level. The Counsel/Management Team/ruling species (the gods) abuse black people so hard, from east African drought/famine to AIDS in Africa, the crack epiemic to gang membership, black-on-black violence to mass incarceration of their young. They refuse to address the issue of the prison industrial complex and its wholesale warehousing of young black men.
I know many of you have questions, and I wish I could answer them.
I wish you were brave enough to ask. One day you will for you will have fallen into desperation.
Pray for guidance and never obey when they tell you to be evil, for saving yourself will become more and more difficult with each act of evil you committ until ultimatly the day arrives when they make their decision final.
The gods will use today’s style of animation, which I call “manic animation”, to justify hurting children, the decendants of the disfavored left behind.

great article man, especially since i’m reading it 2 years later and i can compare it to whats happened since in the arab blogosphere.
2 years later i’m wondering what your take on the current state of arab blogging is, especially with the explosion of jeeran and maktoob blogs.
i’ve just launched 3 of a series of aggregators that is meant to cover the region at: bloggersarabia.blogspot.com, and the intention is not to moderate the bloggers at all. since i’m not a corporate aggregator like dwwen or itoot i dont have to worry about scaring off sponsors.
egypt’s got a crazy number of blogs so do bear with me as i’ve just started to populate the Egypt aggregator with the rest of you guys,… not that its likely that i’ll ever get all of you on there,… that’ll probably fry google’s servers haha!
keep up the great blogging.

20th century brings more facilities easy access and much more e.g 20th century radio, sports, movies, popular music, television, video games, the internet and MP3 these things did not innovative or easy access before 20th century…now in mobile phone games and much more .. its good article
