Recommend a Middle Eastern Messaging Board with an active membership.

I have a question for the readers of this board. Could anyone recommend a message board or website which caters to the Middle East ? I am looking to read what the common Arab man / woman thinks. I understand English; and though this criteria would skew the sample, i need a messaging forum which is predominantly in the English language and has an Arab membership.

Incidentally i read the message boards on SDMB [long time lurker, first time poster here] for insights into how an ordinary American might deal with his concerns, hopes, pet peeves etc. Hopefully my approach is not hopelessly naive.

Thanks in advance for the board recommendation.

yes .. my first post is a stillborn.
C'mon you people!!!! dont you have any shame at all?!?!

On a .. well .. slightly unrelated subject ; Do you read what the "other" side thinks? Is it worthwhile to read what the Al-Jazeera website [for instance] says about the Iraq war?

Sorry you were abandoned. I can’t help with your original request but I do occasionally read al-Jazeera. It’s like CNN and even throws a little bias in just like CNN does.

Thanks again. For the welcome too!
