Jadaliyya Turns "One!"

Thank you guys for a great, in-depth online magazine with intelligent and suprising angles, thorough analysis and some of the best features from the Arab uprisings. You should indeed be proud of yourself.

I hope you'll get the funding and support you need to stay around - and grow bigger.

I'm spreading the Jadaliyya-word here in the (freezing) northern Europe.

The best from Denmark, Peter

Congratulations to the wonderful team of editors and the diverse contributors.

You're right to say that readers have found in Jadaliyya "a refuge from mainstream reporting and a new reference point for contextualized analysis" - this couldn't be more true. As a young white Australia Christian it has been difficult to sift through the layers and layers of information, misinformation, conjecture, propaganda and disagreements to find anything resembling a reliable "truth." What I appreciate about Jadaliyya is the way it comes from the thought-life of the very regions and people.

To anyone who has contributed I am truly greatful to be hearing "your" voice. Every article that I have read so far has been refreshing and provocative. I'm greatful.

Omar Barghouti has described an "Arab Renaissance". At least from my corner of the world it feels like there is a renaissance. I can feel my thinking about and vision for the world becoming much richer as I meet cultures and people (the writers) who were before so distant.

Thank you. Alex

Dear Jadliyyaites Congratulations though there are no candles and cakes it is a celebration worth it. Don't be dismayed by the small number of comments here. There are a number of unnamed readers like me who absorb the ideas from genuine discussions like the ones in Jadaliyya. We are forming our opinion and seasoning our understanding with the critical readings that you provide. WE in India, especially those in colleges and universities are looking at the events bewildered and in great expectations. Through this site you all behind it are floating some ideas that need much more attention and it deserve to long live

Today is my first exposure to this e-magasine; you have definitely become part of my knowledge form dealing with Middle-Eastern topics; hope to read more informative articles dealing with both current political events as well as robust historical research. Thank You for giving me, a "westerner", worse, a timid canadian [reference to Canada,s fearful foreign policies] some much needed balance and depth in your coverage of all things Arab!!!!!!
