Native Gulfies - what a great expression!. We lived in the Sultanate of Oman in the 90's and discovered there was yet another branch of Islam called Ibadism, which apparently is considered heretical by some of the other sects. It is also often credited for being moderate and tolerant of other religions. At least that is what we non-arabic speaking western expats were told. True?
My go to blog every day, and intelligent discussion for middle east issues. Used to live in Oman, so that neck of the woods has a special place in my heart. Thank you so much.
I thought the reason that we are "doing something" in Libya and not against other brutal dictators is that the rebels, having started their revolution and gotten semi-organized, clearly and consistently asked for our help by imposing a no-fly-zone. I don't know that any of the others asked for that, or did I miss something?
