About al-Wasat

Looking around the blogosphere, we at al-Wasat saw a good deal of specific coverage of certain issues – the Middle East, South Asia, CT, COIN, etc. But we have not seen a website that brings different perspectives on these separate but interrelated issues together. We wanted to change that.

Our goal was to bring together some articulate, interesting, and occasionally funny individuals to write about politics, society, and religious movements in the Muslim world.
