Occupied by Love: Marriages from Tahrir to Wallstreet
A Muslim Wedding at Occupy Wall Street
"It seems like the one question that's on every marriage-seeker's mind is, "Where do I meet someone?" I've heard people tell me stories filled with frustration of going to dinner after dinner, party after party, and a variety of speed dating, singles, and networking events with the expectation of meeting someone, and walking away more confused than when they had first ventured out."

Problem with the term Arab Spring?
What's in a name?
"I don't have a problem with the term "Arab Spring" like some people I know do. Yes, I appreciate their arguments about what kind of connotations it can have, but frankly I think there are for more important things to do than worry about the label for a phenomenon that is non-ideological and deeply rooted in the masses."

The Egypt game has changed
When Game Over turns into Re-play: The new wave of protests explained:
"Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians are streaming into Tahrir Square today protesting the massive violence over the weekend and demanding that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) transfer power to a civilian government. With huge numbers in Tahrir, it is difficult to see how this ends without major political changes: violence now by the regime will almost certainly backfire badly, while token concessions won't satisfy the mobilized crowd."
