Baha’is mentioned in Middle East Interfaith blog
Bilo’s post on an article in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm about Western coverage of the sufferings of the Baha’is in Egypt has been picked up here by the Middle East Interfaith Blogger Network.
(I found this out because Bilo’s link to one of my posts created a pingback from mefaith.com.)
It’s worth having a look at mefaith.com’s manifesto:
Through blogging, we are free to express our beliefs online and share them with the world in a way that is not possible otherwise. We cherish our right to free expression and freedom of conscience. As individuals with ties to the Middle East, we are pained by ongoing repression and conflict in the region, troubles fueled in part by religious differences and in part by a fundamental lack of communication.
Together, we are committed to helping Middle Eastern societies find a formula for genuine acceptance of difference. We ask the blogging community to provide an open environment for interfaith dialogue and education

Barney,
This site, organised by mostly young people from the Middle East, has been quite proactive in its interfaith efforts, promoting peace, tolerance and acceptance. They have been picking up several posts from “Baha’i Faith in Egypt” for quite a while now. This is an example of hope for a bright future for the area.
Bilo, I’d never come across the site before. I was impressed by their manifesto and I wish them all success. A hope for a brighter future for the Middle East, as you say.
