Are We Silencing the Politics of War?
Sadaf Siddique
IndiaGALLERYCONVERSATION
Just wanted to let you know that I finally found a few quiet minutes to sit down at my computer and look up your website the other...
For example, I noticed that one of the Lebanese women had a poster of Nasrallah that was quite wonderful, but her account of the "media star/war hero/war mongerer" did not say anything about Nasrallah's political philosophy or the roots of Hezbollah's emergence (after the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon).
So if this perspective was accidentally produced by who submitted, I think it would be a really good idea to solicit articles from people who reflect a much broader range of perspectives of what Arab women think about the wars in the region ... for e.g.
I should add that I realize that these stories are stories, not political essays or even journalistic accounts.  But I do think it would be important for the website to reflect the range of views that young women in the Arab world, in particular, have about war and conflict, if these are to be meaningfully addressed.
The reality is that there is a lot of frustration, anger, fear, and skepticism among Arabs and Muslims, and I think it is important for someone to provide an outlet to those views so that Americans understand how people feel when they are bearing the brunt of US aggression or surveillance and foreign invasion.
