Since there is no hot topic circulating in my head, and because there are no episodes of any of my series ready to be published, I resolved to share some appearances the Box has made in the past month.

Jameed was so kind as to inform me that the post titled “3arabi mkassar” was thrown back and forth in the inboxes of faculty at The Middle East Studies Association (MESA) in Brigham Young University (BYU) - Utah. I am indebted for Mr.Jameed for his thoughtful gesture.

The Box also made it all the way to Dallas, Texas, and was quoted in the
Dallas Morning News on February 11th, 2006. Many other bloggers were also quoted in this article that deals with the reactions of people around the Muslim world to the Danish cartoon controversy. My gratitude goes to MFLS for informing me about this.

A spectacular site called BlogHer, featuring women bloggers from around the globe, chose to say this:

“This is from Tololy’s Box, a blog by a young woman in Jordan. She thoughtfully considers where the edges of free speech lie in the face of the international scandal caused by the offending cartoons.
In the midst of mindless “Buy Danish” and “Boycott Danish” campaigns, her consideration is refreshing. Read the comments too. Her sensitivity is something often missing in the heated arguments between free speech and political correctness.”

Find the page here, and if you happen to be interested in what the lady bloggers are saying, this is the site for you. And, in hopes that all the provided links prove to be healthy and not broken, I terminate this entry.
