Summing up my recent distractions

It has been a while since my last blog entry and that is because the Middle East has been keeping us at red24 pretty busy. From Libya to Iran there are fears and concerns that revolutions are failing and that war is imminent. Libya is a particularly problematic country at the moment. The government is still struggling to finalise a cabinet and Islamist militias are making life difficult for the government in the east. In Egypt, President Mursi is facing strong opposition from secularists. On Friday clashes were reported between protesters denouncing Mursi's government and Muslim Brotherhood protesters. The unrest is unlikely to be the last as Egypt is in the final stages of finishing a constitution. The biggy in the region has to be the threat of war between Iran and Israel. Who knows where this fight is going? We've worked on a security brief on the issue at red24. You can access it here . One pretty cool thing I've read lately is a book called 'Son of Hamas' Its a biography written by and about Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a founding members of Hamas who turned to Christ during his 20s. If that wasn't shocking enough he also spied on Hamas for Shin Bet, the Israeli intelligence agency. Obviously, his Muslim family have denounced him and he has fled to the US. He is currently based in California and attends the Barrabas Road Church. For anyone trying to understand the Palestinian Israeli conflict this is a must read. Ok, well hopefully I won't take too long next time to post something, keep well!
