Dustin over at His Peace Upon Us<\/a>, a thoughtful and recommended new Christian blog dedicated to\u00a0dialogue between\u00a0Christians and Muslims,\u00a0reports on\u00a0 a very interesting study of the Arabic-language Blogosphere.\u00a0 Its title is \"Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere: Politics, Culture, and Dissent\" and its authors are Bruce Etling, John Kelly, Robert Faris, and John Palfrey.<\/p>\n

The Berkman Center for Internet Study and Security<\/font><\/a> did a massive study on the Arabic blogosphere. Who blogs? What do they blog about? You can read the summary of the report at the Berkman Center site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I found it interesting that they blog more about human rights than they criticize Western culture and values. That\u2019s probably not what most would expect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Very interesting indeed. <\/p>\n

Haven't read all of the report, but 3 interesting details jump out at me:<\/p>\n
