I read about the Bahraini blogger arrested on Mahmood's den.. Alarming indeed!
But you have nothing to worry about.. If you get arrested (god forbid), we'll be demonstrating on Gulf Road, carrying orange 'blogger' flags, demanding your release, and WiFi everywhere.
Welcome home, Zaydoun

Wow! Minds here are getting smaller and smaller!
This comes just after an Iranian blogger was sentences to 14 years in prison.

Bahrain always the first in the gulf
I predict blogspot will be blocked soon here. The Govt way of balancing the internet after they shut down Hamed al-3li site and others.
I cant go more underground than this or I will hit oil

Welcome back Zaydoun.
I don't know if this Bahraini guy was trying to get caught or what. His identity and address are in the public domain. A simple WHOIS search will uncover him in a heartbeat. I did one on his domain and this is what I got:
Admin ID:C26142194-RCOM
Admin Name:Ali Abdulemam Al Bahrani
Admin Organization:Bahrainonline
Admin Street1:P.O.Box 3042
Admin Street2:
Admin Street3:
Admin City:Manama
Admin State/Province:bh
Admin Postal Code:99999
Admin Country:BH
Admin Phone:+973.9611080
Admin Phone Ext.:
Admin FAX:+973.9000000

If I can do it in 5 seconds, I am sure the Bahraini authorities can do it in less. The lesson here is:
"If the domain is registered under your name, your identity is exposed, so be careful what you write there. You CAN be held "liable."

yeah jambino , but when you first register the domain you have to use a real name , then you can change it later , i did that
and zaydon شكلك بتمشكلنا :)

So what if his identity is exposed? The issue here is the Bahraini government's intolerance for criticism... My identity is no secret and I don't really care what happens to me
But if I'm going down, I'm dragging y'all with me!!!

1. What was the Bahraini Blogger writing that got him arrested?
2. Gay.com has been blocked by Qnet

Sheba... Abu Hafs is blocked at work!
1/3/05 12:41 PM
Oh oh, zaydoun do you think your administrator spys on your PC?
1/3/05 2:20 PM
No.. I think they must have seen Abu Hafs and were offended ;-)

I don't like that. Very 1984. Along with all thats been happening (arresting of gay looking people, and idiotic arguments against women's rights).

So, you think it likely Kuwait will do a Bahrain anytime soon?
And what to say, of Bahrain's winning accolades from the world's media for being economically the most liberal country in the Middle East with a fledgling democracy; voting rights for women and the works!
For Bahrainis, today, there's no point resting on past laurels: freedom of expression and civil liberties there have done an about-face.
And arresting gay looking people....crikey, is that for real?
It is news to me you could actually get arrested here for appearing to be having a criminally good time - no wonder a constipated,forlorn look is `so this season'in a strip mall near where I live.
