The Moor Next Door

Today I happened to come across a blog by a young Algerian that has some worthwhile material. Not only does The Moor Next Door have several [(1)(2)(3)] articles on the rise of so-called Islamism in Mauritania, a phenomenon that I find both somewhat surprising and rather disturbing, but he's posted on some other somewhat obscure subjects as well. These include On Bernard Lewis, Historical Maturity: The Case of France, The Arabs Before Islam: Educate Yourself!, What is to Be Done With Arabism?, Disscussion on Islam and Democracy in Algiers...and he has a book list as well.

Which reminds me...yesterday I discovered that Omar K. Neusser, well known for his work on the LivingIslam.org website, has a weblog entitled LivingIslam - IslamicTradition, which I've added to my BLOG LINKS on the right-hand sidebar.

Enjoy and Deen On...
