What's Going On In Egypt?

David Dolan is an American Christian journalist who has lived in Israel for more than 30 years. He has a very unique perspective on the happenings in the Middle East. I would encourage people to subscribe to his monthly Israel Updates. Here's a little taste of the article:
So the fact that Hosni Mubarak’s police and security forces are rife with corruption has been evident to me for many years. Does this mean I have been advocating the ouster of his autocratic regime? Not at all. This is because I’ve also long understood that the Arab people in general, especially the vast majority who are practicing Muslims, tend to be very proud folks, with the Muslims believing that they are the Almighty’s uniquely chosen sons and daughters, not Christians or Jews. This deeply-held belief contributes to the fact that the Arab masses have often proved to be very unruly, as some of my Arab friends freely admit.

Blog, Interrupted

So I was going to blog today about the 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World that started today. However, the inimitable Justin Taylor covered it well at his blog. I'm praying that God uses this next month to transform my own heart in my attitudes, understanding and love for Muslim people.

As long I'm linking, see what Dr. Mohler has to say about Prop. 8 being overturned last week. As always, expect insightful analysis.
