Iranian Hezbollah Goes Blogging

Iranian Hezbollah blogs, mostly pro Islamic Republic, are active, diverse and more and more organized. In a Global Voices online blog entry, the author takes a look at some of these blogs to better understand what they are about.

From a Global Voices online Blog entry:

"Hezbollah blogs are active, diverse and more and more organized. Let’s look at some of them to understand better what they are talking about:

Muslim bloggers committee (Persian): Several pro Islamic Republic bloggers and site editors such as Pasdar (Persian) and Esteshhadi (Persian), have launched this Muslim bloggers committee to fight against secular bloggers and promote their ideas. To become a member of this committee you must be a Shiite Muslim and you must believe in Republic Islamic. Muslim bloggers committee is a blog/site to regroup Muslim bloggers and present different sections: Among its sections we can read Jihad, Justice, Hamas, Hezbollah, clerics, Literature and so on. This blog/site will include a discussion forum in coming weeks.

If we go to Hezbollah blogs (Persian) page, a blog itself, we can find links to more than 150 Hezbollah blogs which are divided in two groups Men and Women. Many of these blogs don’t write about politics. In Mano Deltag (Persian, a female Hezbollah) you just read poems. In many of them you find prayers to God or to Saints.
Like secular (pro democracy) blogs Hezbollah blogs are diverse and don’t follow a common path. Most of images used on these blogs recall us first years of revolution. "
