Highlander's top blogs choice: Happy 2008

Happy new year - inshallah this year will bring satisfaction of the soul and material success to you all.

A few months ago I thought of doing " my own Libyan blogs competition and give the Highlander Award for excellence or originality once every three months or bi-annually".

Well here we are it's the first day in 2008, time to reflect on the past year and deliver the goods... they are not in any particular order! suspense ?....


tada
- Duniazad and her blog Dunia. Erudite work
- Tasnim - political analysis
- AngloLibyan - well rounded diverse topics
- Safia Speaks - the adventures of a Libyan woman abroad
- PH - smart - wise yet fun
- Lebeeya - one woman show
- White African - a breath of fresh air
- Braveheart - a Libyan knight

From the Arab blogs Riverbend reigns as Queen supreme while Zaydoun from Kuwait Interrupted is the most interesting.

The trophy for honourary Libyans goes to Ibeebarbie and Globetrottingen!

But honestly all the Libyan bloggers are unique :P check Braveheart's Award too :)

A big virtual hug from Highlander

Thanks H, gosh, not even sure if I deserve it though! Thanks anyways.

I have to agree with CNN Libya, you should be crowned the Founding Father (change that to Princess) of Libyan Bloggers! I had an enjoyable trip following your tales and adventure, your insightful comments and opinion on certain issues, your courage to speak out / speak your mind out on sensitive issues.

Please H, do continue posting your great entries.

New York Times has to ruin my New Year Day by writing another article about Muslim Gays.

Lucky I read the newspaper in the evening :-)


Every three weeks, they have an article with a headline Muslim Gays, in Iraq, San Francisco, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and now Berlin.


I do not see this newspaper writing about human right violations in the Arab World just negative news about Arab World or Iran because it is good business.

Persepolis, the animated film which was mentioned in Tasnim blog reminds me of another anti Iran movie Not Without My Daughter. Lately every newspaper is writing excellent reviews about this film just because it is anti Iran. The truth it is well made but to win prizes is a big joke.

Salam Highlander,
Shukran! To be thought of an honorary Libyan is indeed quite an honor *blushing*. To be part of this fantastic group of individuals that I consider my family, friend and confidant is unbelievable. May Allah bless you always, and may 2008 be an incredible year for you.
