… as seen by a fascinating new (at least to me) Saudi blog called Saudi Jeans. Sheryl found this via the ever-witty The Religious Policeman. Check out his latest post on those ever-dangerous Freemasons.
[Didn't you make-up the original title for Scenes from a Mall?-ed. With a little help from Bergman.]

 With gratitude to the readers of this blog without whom my new -- and first non-fiction -- book would likely never have been written.

1. TigerHawk:I’ve been reading Saudi Jeans for months. I have a number of Arab/English language blogs on my blogroll, many of which are both excellent (objectively) and very anti-American. Sabbah, in particular, is a very educated Palestinian who lives in Jordan. He is interested in many things, but he a very, well, Palestinian view of Israel and America’s support for it. Worth reading, even if he can make your blood boil.

I haven’t run into Saudi Jeans before. It’s interesting, and yes, some posts were a bit blood-boiling as TigerHawk says, but reading them helps me to form counter-arguments (once I calm down that is). I do read the Religious Policeman every day and find him to be insightful and witty.

I love the Religious Policeman’s wit, intelligence, and charm, but there is a bit of arrogance in there that is sometimes hard for me to put aside. Though I didn’t really notice it much until he moved to London.
The world has indeed shrunk to the size of a computer screen.
