Egypt

1. This is an exciting time. Will it mean widespread revolution across the Arab and/or Muslim world? Will it result in real change? I don’t know, and I don’t think anyone really does. But at least it’s getting the world to sit up and pay attention.
2. The photographs emerging from these protests are nothing less than awe-inspiring. I’m totally transfixed by the picture above. And I’m totally struck by how good-looking so many Egyptians are. Part of me thinks it’s the resolution in their faces, rather than their features, that contributes to their beauty.
3. Al. Jazeera. English. As a journalist, a student of journalism, an American, a Pakistani, and a Muslim: Thank you. (I’m particularly impressed by Ayman Mohyeldin.)
