First it was MSNBC which featured Mahmood’s Den in connection to the London bombing…
Then this morning I got a couple of sms messages telling me that I’ve been quoted in both the Times and the Guardian!
Fame!!
An Arab man's attempt at bridging the cultural gap and trying to make a difference. Failing a lot. Succeeding once in a while.

LOL, now I KNOW you don’t mean this the way you wrote it

LOL! Good point Aliandra. But the acknowledgment of Mahmood’s Den shows you how well you have done!
Mabrook Mahmood. It is nice to see rewards for a job well done.
Not too bad!
Not bad at all Mahmood! Well done!
(However the downside is that all the extra traffic seems to have slowed down the site a bit)
Re: Not too bad!
Like everything in life, it’s transitory! 😉
and of course I chose today to upgrade the site to the latest release in Xaraya without reading the notes… I can see a couple of kinks that I’ll try to fix tonight.
Not too bad!
Wow!
Blogging is the future – a future where people can fight off the authoritarian impulses of others and make thier uniquely human voices heard. If anything, it is the bloggers that will, hopefully, win this War on Jihadism. The Blogs have been ‘on point’ for a long time. The Main Stream Media is just catching up.
Check out Amir Teheri’s latest in the Observer: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-355-1684970,00.html I have been saying EXACTLY what he’s said for a very long time. It’s good to know that it’s finally getting out there so people can read it in the mainstream media.
Not too bad!
Hi Mahmood,
By coincidence, I’ve just come here after recommending your blog to the BBC via their website. There’s a good article on blogging and the London bombings on the BBC site here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4672195.stm
I recommended your blog via the form at the bottom and I hope they take a look. I’m fed up of liberals in the UK saying we need to listen more to angry young wannabee jihadis when in fact we need to be listening more to Muslims like you.

Re: Not too bad!
Ash, I am humbled. Thank you very much. I hope they have a look too.

Hello from Portugal. Congratulations for your blog, it’s funny and informative. And yes, you’re famous also in my land.
Not too bad!
It wont be long before you are writing posts about those blasted papparazzi who are ringing and emailing you at all times in the night for quotes! What products would you like to endorse!?! Have you given any thought to who is going to play you in the inevitable TV movie!?!?
seriously though, congratulations mate, its nice to see you getting some well deserved worldwide recognition!!!

Mahmoodski,
I see a new career for you slowly forming.

Mabroook Mahmood! I doubt there is anyone in the whole Arab blogosphere (ok, make it the Khaleeji one) that is as bold and brave as you. Congrats Mr. Mahmood. It sure is deserved 🙂
Make us proud and rock on.

Re: Not too bad!
Hmmm. Well, if I were in charge of Mahmood’s product endorsement, the first and most obvious one is McMahmood’s Shawarmas. I can picture Ronald McMahmood now. Next we have to have something akin to the Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer, but with Mahmood’s appreciation of fine cars, it would have to be something like a Porsche Mahmoodski. And of course, we have to have Mahmood’s Favorite Amber Beverage.
Oh yeah, the ideas are coming now. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
Steve
