The blog and social justice in the Middle East

While blogs everywhere offer people a chance to express their views or opinions in a public and truly global space, in the Middle East they often have a strongly political dimension in that they offer a rare opportunity to speak out against oppressive regimes and religious practices. In my opinion, it is good to see people turning to blogs and other sort of Internet sites to speak out what they think increasingly since they do not find anyone else either listening to them or encouraging them to join the debate.

To develop an own blog is a trend rising in media industry, they could see what people are saying and suggestion left to them, there is a good interaction in between with audience.  It is a hope to see this phenomenon will be appeared in Middle East as well, providing an official way to hear the voices from different people, and trying to keep up with what the public is thinking.
