The iPad Mini is the Apple of one Arab reviewer's eye

The iPad Mini is here. It’s a sleek, thin and light 7.9-inch tablet. This thing is really neat. Really light and thin at 0.68 pounds and 7.2 millimeters.

In a nutshell: it has better specs and it’s thinner and lighter than the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and the Google Nexus 7.

Sure you come across the occasional ‘smashed car because there was a cross hanging on the mirror’ story but nonetheless, I was always more or less convinced of Jordan’s ‘freedom of religion’.

The recent events in Fuheis, however, made me rethink just how ‘religiously free’ we as a society really are.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said: “The ‘Detainee Policies’ show the anatomy of the beast that is post-9/11 detention.

It shows the excesses of the early days of war against an unknown ‘enemy’ and how these policies matured and evolved, ultimately deriving into the permanent state of exception that the United States now finds itself in, a decade later.”

Summer has morphed with unexpected quickness into winter and I find myself awed by the swift passage of time.

And more than a little daunted.

A prayer for Egypt and her people.
