As a rare Egyptian in Jerusalem, I have felt something akin to being a B-list celebrity.
Byte-sized muse and views
Ramadan is when Muslims fast and feast, but the holy month has something to offer those of other faiths, or none.
Animal rights activists are calling for global vegetarianism, but the Middle East is not ready to sacrifice its meat-eating lifestyle.
If you don't fast during Ramadan in Egypt, lie about it; hide it. Otherwise, you might land in jail.
It's Ramadan, but the Egyptian police continue to practise brutality and torture. This year, they should set a better example.
Police in Egypt are using Ramadan to target secularists. The government must do more to protect individual liberty.
Ramadan possesses a certain secular appeal but fasting requires the non-believer to square the philosophical circle.
With booze in short supply, the month of fasting can be a thirsty wait for some Muslims.
