I’ve just returned from Highway africa, a media conference which brings together journos from across Africa and other parts of the world. Sami ben Gharbi a Tunisian blogger who heads Global Voices advocacy group was there too.

It would be great to have a global muslim bloggers meet

Not because it’s not fun or not an amazing place to visit “In fact: Beirut this summer is stunning” so much activates & events. .. People couldn’t have such summer since 3 years because of the political situation.. You know that I’ve been here during the latest events when they closed the airport..! And still this crazy country was safe!!! T.V and News papers exaggerated 80 percent.
For God sake most Lebanese were partying in “Hamra & Jimmaizah” and few of them shooting each other in the next neighborhood!!! While the rest of Lebanese drinking “Araq” & watching the news.
About what they call terrorists << they barely exist. There are few “Metaw3ah-Salafi conservatives” in the north “Tripoli in specific” fighting with (Al-Alaween<< real Minority in Lebanon).. the dazzling thing about Lebanon that ,also in the North, 50 KM before Tripoli you can witness the wildest most crazy beach parties human being can imagine in Jebail.
So this is Lebanon. I’m safe with my 3 years old baby<<who is enjoying a summer camp on the mountains. families could love it here: a lot of professional educational kids programs.
As I told you.. it’s just that i miss my friends back in Saudi, it’s hard for me to communicate with Lebanese it’s hard to find real friends, always scared from each other looking behind their backs all the time (they truly have a trust problem) + (Too much showing off in a bathetic way makes me feel sick most of the time).
And only few of them!! And I mean it few.. are funny!! but the rest :they think they are ;)
The biggest shock for me was the mentality (by the way they still Arabs) some Bidwens I know are much much more liberated than some Lebanese sons of Jobran Khalil Jobran (( what a shame)) most probably it’s a part of the radicals influence.

God Bless Lebanon & welcome to Adventure land my friend.

Is this true? Or perhaps Lebanon was referred to as the “Switzerland” of the mid-east? Any truth to these things?
