The IslamOnline Brouhaha; Light Posting

I haven't posted anything about the controversy over the popular website IslamOnline. The Arabist has a good summation and links to several accounts covering the dispute. Basically the Qatari Board of the website has purged the Cairo office, which is now claiminng a hardline Islamist takeover of rhe site.

I'm on deadlne for the spring issue and about to go through a major staff transition as well, so posting may be lighter than usual.
