Evet, Turkish for “yes”, I do! A sentence that allededly every woman wants to say (at least) once in her life. Or is it rather that men want to hear that sentence at least once in THEIR life? Anyway, the Türkish Sinan Akkus, aka Sinan Turculu, THE Turkish guy from the TV-series Stromberg made a very nice debut-feature with its
The third edition is out since february. The third report seems to have been published without PriceWaterhouseCoopers but still provides us again with an overview of the media sector, this time for the years 2009-2013. The latest report encompasses three more Arabic countries: Palestine, Syria and Sudan. At the beginning let us take a look on the sector “online &
Last Saturday it was story hour again. On whom or what? The American movie or better to say the American world view. What it is all about? It is about the film “Hidalgo – 3000 miles towards glory”. Well, it could have been a nice film. The story, the film takes place end of 19th century, offered at least the
Even though the former Middle East Messenger nominally commited oneself to the regions of Middle and Near East, a look at the wider picture – literally to the second biggest Islamic country, India, – should be justified.

Good things come to those who wait! Sometimes the preparation of a master thesis or better to say the search for the project itself, equals the creation of a good red wine: One has to tax one’s brain for a while until things are ripe for decision.

Is Dubai “higher, faster, further” for you or just a fairy tale? Take part in the Middle East Messenger poll and find out for yourself! The results of the study will be published in Mai. Start the Online-survey
It is a project with sense and sensibility. 1001 ideas for tuition. The project started in Octobre 2007. It is a pity that so little has been reported about it by now. Although it is worth a try. The portal deals with the history and the presence of muslims. Not only with the muslim minority in Europe but also world-wide.
It could be midlife-crisis that has never been overcome or just the reaction of a former political pop-star who’s missing the stage: colonel Gaddafi once again slipped into one of his most wanted roles, the Enfant terrible of the world stage. After all he still manages that the press writes about him and sometimes an interesting discussion unfolds. Sometimes he
Last week a film worth-seeing made it into German cinemas: “The stranger” by the German-Turkish producer Feo Aldag. Once again absolutely outstanding in her performance Sibell Kekilli, just like appearance in “Against the wall”. Despite that I cannot share the opinion of the Spiegel-Journalist who wants to establish Mrs. Kekilli as the typical “Turkish woman” in cinemas just because of
