]]> Comment on Dershowitz on Palestine – blinkers and bombast by Ken Moore http://59steps.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/dershowitz-on-palestine-blinkers-and-bombast/#comment-2026 Fri, 17 May 2013 17:30:06 +0000 http://59steps.wordpress.com/?p=2313#comment-2026 Well said Steve . Dershowitz is exactly the mirror image of the people he criticises. One can’t say a damned thing about Israel, without being impugned with motives that don’t exist.

]]> Comment on Thoughts on the Haj by 59steps http://59steps.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/thoughts-on-the-haj/#comment-1999 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:00:51 +0000 http://59steps.wordpress.com/?p=421#comment-1999 Thanks Namaz. Depends what you mean. If you’re talking about the subject of the post, I gained my knowledge through 15 years of working in the Middle East, talking to Muslims who have gone through the experience and reading on the subject. If you’re talking about the writing style, mine developed through seeing what worked and what didn’t, and developing from there. Good luck with the presentation!

The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.

I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to
let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon.
Many thanks

There are more important differences on either side of the water to be resolved first! Steve

Why don’t you call the “gulf” by its proper name Persian Gulf?

Reza

Charging registration fees is illegal in the EU and many other parts of the world, so I’m not sure where you’re based. To work in the countries you specify, you will need to bring some specific skills to the table. There are lots of locals with good degrees looking for jobs. If you are a recent graduate you would be competing with them to your disadvantage. To look for opportunities, I suggest you go to monster.com (Middle East jobs) bayt.com, gulftalent.com. If you google on recruitment agencies (using the country name in the search statement) you’ll find lots of others.

Good luck!

Steve
