Censorship in Amman, A Saudi Dreams and an Orphan Weds

The blogger states that " I am totally dismayed by the Ministry of ICT’s recent claims that they will soon censor the Internet. I think Internet censorship will be the last straw to get me to lose hope in the future of this country. "

Apparently a group has begun gathering signatures to ban access to all pornographic images and videos. Could this be the beginning of the end for online freedom in the Hashemite Kingdom?

A Saudi single women vents and dreams from the confines of her country and culture. Read as she waxes eloquently about what she would rather be doing:

"Loving, respecting and being in complete awe of what I am going to see.

Volunteering along the way in helping those in need.

Forgetting all the baggage of hate, misery and sadness I left at home."

An American working in the Middle East blogs about a friend who was an orphan and a divorcee getting married again. This is a beautiful story of renewal and hope.

One person commented on the blogs , "In your words, “my heart is singing” just reading this :) Such a beautiful story, for an equally beautiful woman."

A must read!
