This is long overdue, but better late than never…
My friend Mahmood al-Yousif, Bahrain’s blogfather, has decided to quit blogging after 5 years of enriching the Gulf cyberspace with his wisdom and humor. Mahmood’s Den was one of the first blogs in the region and one of the inspirations behind Saudi Jeans. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mahmood for the first time in Manama back in 2005, and then once again in Dhahran last year. I am sad to see him stop and I’m sure I will miss his intelligent witty comments, but now there is nothing I can do but wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
Saudi Jeans 
why did he stop blogging? just curious.
Artists come in many catagories…and he, my friend is an artist!!
and ahmed!..I just started a blog and u made a cameo appearance in it lol!! i hope u’ll be a supporter =D
Excellent content and style…keep up the good work!
Good riddance. Mahmoud was a in-closeted neocon lackey.
It saddened me as well though I have just found my way to his blog!!
hey ahmed, did you see this in this morning’s (my time) NY Times?
