With a background of Arabic prayer music, the propaganda video portrays ISIS as looking after the children, who they claim have lost their parents to "martyrdom," according to U.S.-based jihadi monitoring group SITE Intelligence."

Egypt's revolution must continue - Opinion - Al Jazeera English - 0 views

      This is a great article written recently that is basically a timeline and personal vantage point from a Egyptian musician/activist named Ramy Essam. I enjoy this article because it tells the story of the Egyptian Revolution with avery current artistic frame. He elaborates on things that most story wouldn't, like the music and dialogue he experienced first hand during uprisings. Supposedly he is writing all of this while sitting in front a mural of people who dies during the uprisings also.
