A group of free-minded bloggers, journalists, activists and creators, we are dispersed throughout the Middle East, North Africa and the rest of the world. Keen on perpetuating the spirit of the Arab Spring, we confront both oppressive autocrats and religious zealots with audacious reporting, candid whistle-blowing… and ferocious derision ;)
“Democracy, Secularism, Fun”— that’s our motto. We fight authoritarianism and corruption, advocate free elections and open government, and champion individual freedoms—from religious to sexual. As for the ‘fun’ part… it’s just us :) Intellectual curiosity, creativity, and humor are the staples of the “Free Arabs” generation. Join the club!
Launched with financial support from a small group of independent Arab journalists, Free Arabs is—and vows to remain—totally independent of any government or political party, group or institution. We do not—and will not—pursue any other agenda than defending Freedom and advancing our core values: Democracy, Secularism… and uninhibited creativity!

Free Arabs launched with financial support from a small group of independent Arab journalists—and without support from any government or political group. Free Arabs is—and vows to remain—totally independent of any government, political party, group or institution. Free Arabs does not—and will not—pursue any other agenda than the one expressed in its editorial line.
The project grew out of a network of creative next-generation Arab activists facilitated by the American Islamic Congress, backed by a small grant from the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.
The first formal editorial gathering occurred on the sidelines of the Oslo Freedom Forum, with the logistical assistance of the liberal Norwegian think-tank Civita.
Grateful for the help of these institutions and other contributors, Free Arabs, Inc. is an independent initiative solely responsible for the site's content and editorial line. (Back to homepage)
