This wasn’t much of an opinion peace on Nouri’s part, but it still had great insight into the minds of our brothers and sisters out in the middle east and what they think about the violence out there. He is just relaying some information from a BBC peace on Algerian Reactions to the recent suicide bombings. Reactions have ranged from conspirtorial to anti-Islamist. People are blaming the bombings on the upcoming 2009 Algerian elections, calling it “Algerian economic policy” and asking if even Morroco is involved. One Algerian called life “impossible” and said that his “money buys much less than it used to. He said that while there is more security there is less freedom of speech and less social justice. One engineer, pro-bouteflika in contrast to the prior Algerian, says that “his country will never become like Afghanistan” that it will never be an “extremist Islamic country.” Everyone though has said that this violence is much different from the 1990’s bombings. I thought it was very eye-opening hearing about the harsh realities from Algerian citizens and I suggest you all follow the link for the BBC site to read on.
