To the attention of Maktoob's administrators and the blogging community,
The Arab Bloggers Union has been following with great sorrow the emergence of some offensive blogs, which are hurling accusations and using derogatory terms against religions, prophets and beliefs, trespassing over the Divine, casting doubt on the values and beliefs of our community and abusing our ethics. And because we believe that Maktoob is a pure Arab blogging site, those registered on it should adhere to our ethics and values and because the Arab Bloggers Union is a home for every blogger and a line of defense for the rights of bloggers and their opinions, supporting the freedom of belief and opinion, and differences which are constructive, we urge Maktoob to delete any blog which exceeds the limits of opinion and belief by trespassing on God, the Prophets, religions, religious books, morality and values. The Union also calls for banning bloggers (who break the rules) from registering on Maktoob again. The Union urges bloggers to write to the union and inform it about any offensive blogs, without publishing their links to speak their offensive messages on blogs as this is the ultimate goal of those who trespass. The Arab Bloggers Union will leave the door open for the cooperation of the Maktoob administration to stop such offensive behaviour which are campaigns full of animosity and aim at targeting our nation, values, morals and beliefs.

Very nice! The Bloggers Union calls for deleting blogs and urges bloggers to work as informants and monitor blogs to help in deleting the largest number of blogs possible!!

I think that the proper name should be the Arab Bloggers Monitor or the Arab Blogger's Gallows. I also believe that a union should bring together people joined with similar traits, who are together out of their own free will to achieve the most benefit out of their gathering. Where is the benefit in this case?

Dear Dr,
There is a huge difference between deleting offensive words, which are against the law, and deleting entire blogs.
