Our eternal problem is, once we get anonymousity and facility to express opinions (Like on blogs), we just jump into abusing it, spurting up all sort of weird, shocking ideas and thoughts. Liberalism is now a portmanteau for rudeness, for weirdness, and for attacking personal taboos (whether political, religious or sexual).

I definitely encourage anyone who doesn't know about Karim to check his blog first and then decide if he/she should 'write to him'.

This article is misleading.

It is also relevant to those who want to help more people than just Kareem, and those who feel that others deserve just as much attention. The website is designed to function interactively, anyone can start and edit a page, much like Wikipedia. The theme of this is to gather as much information as possible about political prisoners in the region, so if there is no profile set up for a person you are concerned about, please register on this website and start compiling information about others in similar, or even worse, positions. More than that, it offers a list of contacts per case which you can use to take further action. We found their tools to be very useful.
