So what are you [...]

More than 100,000 individual people read Sabbah's Blog each month. Why have I set up this Facebook Group? Well, I've always wanted my own fan club . . . JOKE!
Seriously, from time to time there will be events on the blog which I would like to notify my readers of. You won't be bombarded – [...]
Just came to know the results of the Fourth Annual Brass Crescent Award and the "Best Mideast/Central Asian Blog" is "Raising Yousuf, Unplugged (Laila El-Haddad)". Congratulation to Laila, she deserve it… and thanks to all those who voted for Sabbah's Blog (I got a 'Honorable Mention')!

This blogger (Haitham) is officially on vacation.
Destination: Unknown!
Period: Unknown!
I don't know when and how many times I will get a chance to blog something… I will be back when I'm back… This does not include my lovely guest/friends post ;-)
Have a nice and safe summer!
I was honored to know that my blog referred enough new members to join "One Million Blogs for Peace" project, and awarded a gift certificate, which means a lot more than it's humble value. It means that readers if this blog are mostly "Peace Advocates". So thank you all!
I promoted the project couple of time [...]
I've been thinking a lot about Nadia's post about sexual violence and historical trauma. In the post, Nadia states:
