Very cool!

The group has also been successful
in bringing together people from different sides of political conflicts in the Middle East.

Mideast Youth sets the gold standard as a truly grassroots digital activism organization. Their work is consistently excellent and they have helped countless human rights campaigns in their region to speak with a digital voice.

It is a laudable effort that contributes to the rather noble aims Mideast Youth has set for itself: coexistence and the elimination of extremist ideologies and ignorance from the Middle East.

In many countries in the Middle East, government control of the media effectively stifles political and social debate. So anyone with anything to say that doesn’t fit the party line does so online. And that’s where Mideast Youth has been speaking up.

Best investment in a secure future!

The TED Fellows program is proud to support Mideast Youth. Mideast Youth’s dedication to freedom of both speech and expression is inspiring and the organization’s commitment to interfaith understanding is unparalleled.

Some clerical authorities, well aware of the challenges posed to their influence by the powers of the Web, are becoming more tech savvy and are building a digital presence. But their interpretations and authority increasingly have competition from sites created by young Muslims such as Mideast Youth.

This project appears to be re-shaping discussion about the Middle East among global youth.

I hope Mideast Youth will always be a bright candle for Middle Eastern youth, because it truly is so for me!

I live for those rare bursts of inspiration where someone, in a blast of brilliance, puts things together in a unique and jarring way to great effect. Such creative moments make me proud to be a human. Have a look at their awesome short videos.
