Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

The men are Amir Nafar, 20, who studies sharia [Islamic religious law] at a Jordanian university, Iman Kadura, 26, and Yassin Hinawi, 19.
