The confession by 'Amina':
"I never expected this level of attention. While the narrative voıce may have been fictional, the facts on thıs blog are true and not mısleading as to the situation on the ground. I do not believe that I have harmed anyone -- I feel that I have created an important voice for issues that I feel strongly about."

Thank you Tom MacMaster
Anger is now flying high in the Middle East toward this hoax non-Arab blogger: Some heated language, left in for appreciation of the level of annoyance that is palpable in the blogging community today.
"I don’t know who you are, but I already know that you’re a prick.
You say you never expected this kind of attention? Bullshit! A gay girl in Damascus who writes in perfectly good English? A damsel in distress who’s easy on the eyes and fights tyranny in her country, only in the end to be kidnapped by regime goons?"

Still hot on the trail/ which has now gone cold as its led to the 'father' of the hoax.
"Over the past few days in speaking with Ali and Ben from Electronic Intifada, we shared information, links and theories about the blogger behind Amina of Gay Girl in Damascus. Ben and Ali have now posted some of the evidence collected. The Amina blogger is connected strongly with Thomas (Tom) J MacMaster and Britta Froelicher, formerly from Georgia, now living in Scotland."

How Beirut will kill us
The baptism of Beirut - a resurrected city from the scourge of being name-called and criticized to shreds- to a fresh perspective. Character assassination of a city to stop by this blog posts call for celebration of its virtues.
"Beirut is far from being a dead shallow city. Beirut has a soul. Beirut has a heart. Beirut’s history is like the one of a human being: With good times and bad times, with memories and hopes. Beirut has always been patient… And we, as greedy as we are, have taken advantage of her patience."
