Iraqis have been taking to the streets to protest their many grievances, Saudi on arab-rebels, and a Beiruty looks at the Muslim Brotherhood.

Protests spread to Iraq
The government of Iraq is moving to address a wave of protests there. The largest were on Sunday in Baghdad, Basra, Ramadi and Mosul. Iraqis demanded better electricity and more jobs, as well as a crackdown on crime and corruption. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki pledged to increase monthly food rations. He also rejected any use of violence against the demonstrators.

These views do not represent official Saudi public voices, but views from some Sheiks in office nontheless. It has been reported that the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh, condemned the ongoing revolution against the tyrannical regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
