ARABLIT & ARABLIT QUARTERLY

Egypt’s new culture minister, Alaa Abdel-Aziz, went on television Friday to say that he had no regrets about his new policies and firings and that, despite protests, there is no turning back:

His thoughts were reiterated in condensed form on IkhwanWeb, the MB’s official English-language website. These announcements followed the continued sit-in of dozens of artists at the culture ministry, which began on Wednesday. The protestors’ core demand has been the removal of MB ally Abdel-Aziz as minister.

Meanwhile, in Ahram Online, AUC history professor and commentator Khaled Fahmy questions the value of the sit-in:

I have to admit, that I have been puzzled not by the stance of the minister and the Muslim Brotherhood but rather by that of artists and intellectuals.

I'm a Spaniard. My blood is purely Spaniard, hence, it is a perfect mix of the best drops from Iberians, Celts, Basques, Phoenitians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Jews, Berbers, Arabs, and other European immigrants... That's to be a pure Spaniard. I reached this conclusion when I met some Bedu from Saudi Arabia, back in 2005 I think. She used to praise her blood purity and her tribe lineage, making me think about my own roots... while opening a door inside me, right into the unknown life of Middle Eastern human beings. She helped me awake a pride for my own heritage, but never closing doors to others. This is why I am commonly called Tono by everyone, but here I can be again Youssef Antun Bin Antun Bin Youssef Ibn Untinyan, Al-Must'arib. Same as I decided to accept the challenge, now I offer the same chance to others... Marhaban! (مرحبا. ) And... one last thing: ALL THOSE ORANGE CHARACTERS IN THE POSTS ARE LINKS. Use them. Wisely.
