In the World War against Islam, Americans should never forget there is in existence in every Muslim country of the Middle East, Asia and Africa thousands of liberty loving and American loving individualists. Many of these stalwart persons have taken to the Internet where they publish Blogs that are pro-American and anti-Islamic. It is easy in this country to support the cause of freedom, one's life, limb and freedom of speech is protected by the U.S. Constitution, but Freedom Fighters such as "Big Pharaoh" and "Sandmonkey" run the risk daily of assassination by the Islamists for speaking and writing the truth should their true identities be known.A recent newspaper article on the "Big Pharaoh" and "Sandmonkey," two fine intellectuals and heroic Arab Freedom Fighters:
Many Arabs are free only to "scream and rant" against Israel and America, he said. Yet "ask any one of those protesters if they want a green card" enabling them to live and work in the United States, and "they would be all over you."
The 24-year-old is one of a growing number of Arab bloggers speaking out -- angrily, passionately, irreverently -- on the region's explosive issues. They also coordinate anti-government demonstrations and interfaith vigils, reveal human-rights abuses and explain the voting rights of Egypt's 70 million people.
Fellow blogger "Big Pharaoh" ventured into cyberspace in April 2004 with encouragement from "Zeyad," an Iraqi blogger. "I felt I was going to explode," Big Pharoah, 26, said. "I had all these opinions in me, and I wanted to share them."
Like Sandmonkey, he asked not to be identified because "we are in Egypt, and we never know what can happen." Many Egyptians refuse to speak out publicly for fear of being charged with tarnishing the state's reputation.
Lately, both bloggers have denounced the violence sweeping the Islamic world over the publication of Danish newspaper cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed. A "Buy Danish" notice appears prominently on Sandmonkey's site.
"Boycotting and vilifying an entire nation for what these cartoonists did -- it was so childish ... so stupid," Big Pharaoh said.
