Interview: a friendly one indeed!

It’s so true. Many Arab females I’ve met have had such a difficult time of representing themselves openly, and your voice is a heavenly sound in a world choked with the smoke of conservative fear for someone special like you. It’s no surprise that the majority of the haters on your site are Arab males who have a hard time coping with the fact that one of ‘theirs’ is a rebellious type. I find it so refreshing that you rebel against certain things that others believe in, and yet stick to your principals which do nothing but gain ground and strength.
Your blog reinforces a sense of femininity that has always been part of the Arab world, but is finally being portrayed in the safest possible medium. You are blessed with a true individual identity and I give *nothing but respect* to your vicinity.

Well done. Mona you are the shining star that has triumphed in the Middle East and beyond. You should be very proud. You’ve kicked primitive Arab ass and you have expressed views of values and modern talent in a civilised, professional manner. You make all the Arabs in the West proud and we all love you regardless of what the stupid Arab guys have to say about you. You are wonderful and free-spirited. We love you & all Palestinians… you are a role model to all Arab youth. :up:

Keep it up. Make Arabs & Palestinians all proud!!! Palestine forever!!! Mona is great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU!

Mona woot woot!

@ Brian I could not have said it better.

I will never understand why the majority of Arab males and arab society considers any female who has a brain, speaks out for herself and is educated “rebellious”. Oh wait, because we intimidate them and they have low self esteem.

Very accurate description of the unwaivering rebellious woman. Keep shocking us. Kudos

Ah, fame and fortune are only a hairs breadth away

ur da best dont know why most female population is stuck up in there homes and doing nothing constructive for the countries totally unlike you u must be and outcast in Arab:) if it were from Pakistan im sure some mula would have put a Fatwa on ur blog …just kiddin and keep up the good work

It was a real pleasure to research and write about you Mona, perhaps because your blog has colour, and not just skin tone. You were on my radar for a long time as there can be no doubt you’re one of Canada’s best personal bloggers, and certainly unique in your niche. Write on girl.

Quitye an in-depth profile! I havn’t been a reader for that long but it seems to me they got your blog just about right! Gratz on the recognition, Mona

I wandered over from Canada Blog Friends … nice to meet you
