    Fearing being drawn into a endless or devastating conflict, the Italian government has officially come out wary of military intervention in Libya. This comes as thousands of "refugees" and migrants routinely flee war-torn Libya for refuge in Southern Italy. Additionally, there is great fear among Europeans that ISIS militants might travel among these migrants in an effort to infiltrate and conduct terror attacks against Italy.

    This is an in depth look at media in Saudi Arabia. It goes through and looks at different issues in media over several years and how they are linked to issues in justice, freedom of expression, and activism. One thing I found particularly interesting about this article was the use of dialog from actual activists in the country.

    This report discusses the conditions of the media in Saudi Arabia. It claims that in 2012 Saudi Arabia media environment "remained among the most repressive the the world." It also talked about the fact that their government justified this repression by saying that it violated the Islamic Sharia law. This brought up and interesting point, because I had never thought about freedom of speech and religious freedom being linked in this regard.
