It's not all negative. I was happy to see this on MEMRI's site this week: Harsh Self-Criticism In Arab World Over Violent Reactions To Anti-Islamic Film.
Afghanistan
Inside Italy's Slow And Strategic Withdrawal From Afghanistan - Franceso Grignetti (LA STAMPA/Worldcrunch)
Bulgaria
Report: Accomplice in Terror Act in Bulgaria Arrested (Sofia News Agency-Bulgaria)
Canada
Egypt's Accusations Have Canadian Coptic Christian Fearing for His Life- Rick Westhead (Toronto Star-Canada)
Jordan
Disquiet on the Jordanian Front - David Fox and Katrina Sammour (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace- Sada/IMRA)
Kosovo
Extremists Establish Foothold in the Balkans - Irfan Al-Alawi (Gatestone Institute)
Kosovo Albanians are devoted to their own Muslim legacy and can become combative when faced with ideological aggression from abroad. In addition to Arabs, Iranian agents and Turkish fundamentalists have also attempted visible inroads in the Kosovo Muslim community. The possibility of fundamentalist subversion of Kosovo Muslims merits close scrutiny, and committed assistance to moderate believers.
Latin America
Hizbullah in Latin America: Terrorism and Organized Crime - Roman D. Ortiz (Realite-EU)
Libya
Libyan who helped capture Gadhafi dies after torture, kidnapping - Mel Frykberg (McClatchy Newspapers)
Palestinians/Hamas/Fatah/etc.
Historian Benny Morris: The Palestinians Are Not Interested in a Two-State Solution - Coby Ben-Simhon (Ha'aretz)
Abbas' Five Non-Options - Tal Becker (Washington Institute for Near East Policy) The present volatile regional environment arguably renders the kinds of heart-wrenching decisions any peace agreement requires of any Palestinian leader exceedingly unpopular and politically out of reach, virtually regardless of Israel's position. The Palestinian president knows only too well that even modest compromises with Israel will have him labeled as a traitor to the Palestinian cause before core Palestinian and Arab constituencies.
United States
A Flimsy U.S. Sanctions Policy toward Iran - Andrew K. Davenport and Ilan Berman (Washington Post)
Aspiring Jihadist Arrested in Chicago - Ben West (Stratfor)
