CATEGORIZATION AND NOMINATIONS

Scanning my blogroll, which kind of evolves in a meandering fashion, here is one of the informal topical groups that comes to mind:

Middle East/Islamic World/Islamism:

Abu Aardvark
Aqoul
CENTCOM
Collounsbury
Counterterrorism Blog
Crossroads Arabia
Iraq the Model
JihadWatch
Juan Cole’s Informed Comment
Martin Kramer
Middle East Perspectives <-- NEW !
Sic Semper Tyrannis

I’m opening up the floor for nominations for high quality, informative blogs that deal with the Middle East, particularly if they add balance or provide a completely different perspective from what I already have on my blogroll. No conspiracy theorists, please.

Ideally I’m looking to add 1-3 new ones. You can email me or leave a rec in the comments section. Zenpundit doesn’t have a huge traffic ranking but it does get read occasionally in select quarters by some smart people so the bloggers will at least get that out of the link ( I grant you that I will probably get far more out of reading the new blogs but when situations mostly benefit me I tend to believe that all is right with the world).
