		<description><![CDATA[This post was prepared for a new blog tracking the right of migrants in the Middle East, Migrant-Rights.org. Migrant-Rights.org is an initiative spearheaded by Esra&#8217;a al-Shafei, a Bahraini activist who also founded MidEastYouth.com and FreeKareem.org. Sushar Rosky, born 1987, hangs from the balcony of the apartment in which she worked as a maid for only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The right in America is not Islamophobic. In fact, it often goes to special lengths to emphasize its impartiality towards the Muslim faith. In the March 2007 edition of the California Patriot, for example, Aditya Kashap confirms suspicions that there are good Muslims somewhere in the world: &#8220;it is quite obvious to me that most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A look at the case of Abdelkarim Soliman, the disingenuous media attention surrounding it, and the implications this has for human rights activists in the Middle East. Abdelkarim Soliman, also known as the blogger Kareem Amer, is just one of the many hundreds of innocent people who have suffered at the hands of Western ally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Background: On the evening of November 16, 2006, UCLA student Mostafa Tabatabainejad was repeatedly tasered by UCPD officers in the library despite the fact that he posed no threat to the officers or to the surrounding students. Later that week, an estimated 400 UCLA students protested the incident. A similar but less populated demonstration followed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the fall of 2006, conspicuous posters printed by a marketing firm called BlueStarPR began to appear on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Others reported seeing them in places around the Bay Area. The stated goal of BlueStarPR is to &#8220;shape public opinion through knowledge and understanding&#8221; by producing &#8220;positive and educational posters, advertisements, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I almost entered this essay contest on civil rights in the Middle East last year sponsored by the Hands Across the Mideast Support Alliance. Looking over the first place essay, I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t, and I&#8217;m almost certain I will not participate this year either. Responding to the question &#8220;Why should Americans like you help [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I value the idea of protest, but I have always had an anxious relationship with protests. Attending one for me is always an exercise in the suspension of any sense of self-consciousness&#8211;participating does in a sense require being melded into the crowd. Otherwise you can&#8217;t help but feel like a moron with all the chants [...]]]></description>
