Arabisc: Unemployment, personal attacks and the birth of a new author · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Like many parts of the modern world, unemployment is a plague attacking Arab countries.
Anonymous blogger Alloush writes about a discovery he made while surfing the world wide web.
The Arab blogger found an online forum bringing together unemployed people from across Saudi Arabia  – which he is quick to distance himself from!
He announces his precious find to the world as follows:
Away from Saudi Arabia, Mayada Medhat from Egypt has her own axe to grind after getting a barrage of personal insults on her blog. Although she deleted the offensive entry, she writes:
In Iraq, Tara  is angry that UAE singer Hussain Al Jasmi failed to confirm that a song in his recent album was an Iraqi song.
Speaking of culture and music, another Iraqi blogger living in Canada – Ihath – is busy marketing her new book – Don't Shoot – I Have Another Story to Tell You.
Despite being a firm supporter, Daryl didn't necessarily agree with all of Ihath's ideas.
Not a bad push from someone who opposes all your opinions I suppose!
