And here's a really interesting blog written by a woman from Bahrain now studying in Canada -- Reflections from Canada. She seems to know Mahmoud al-Yousif (of Mahmood's Den) as they frequently discuss back and forth in the comments. I must say that reading these blogs from the Arab world (the Religious Policeman, Mahmood's Den, and now this blog) really does give me hope for the future of the Middle East.
