Information on the traitor Mojo found on an Iraqi blog here:

@all
Since Mojo doesn’t seem to mind people asking for sensitive information about Iraqi other bloggers but not himself:
Dr. Mohammed-Ali Zainy is Mojo’s father. (Mojo, btw, is Muhannad Zainy, and he’s used that name often in comments on the Angry Arab.) Dr. Zainy is an Iraqi oil expert living in London (but has US citizenship) and is quoted in many news articles. He also seems to be a more moderate, nonsectarian figure because he is adamantly opposed to the proposed Iraqi oil law draft, although at some point he returned to postwar Iraq to join the Green Zone government and was suggested as Iraqi Oil Minister. I even remember an occasion when he posted a comment on his son’s blog publicly scolding him or calling him an idiot after he read his silly posts. There are tons of information about this family’s history online. Al Zainy is a famous family from Karbala and Baghdad. They claim descent from the prophet’s family. Seems Zainy was an Iraqi oil official before he defected to the West at an OPEC meeting in Vienna in the early 1980s. So much for Mojo’s claims of his family being persecuted by Saddam’s regime. LOL.

this is a nice news item, I doubt it will be worth anything aside from the novelty but still. It’s something.
Btw the Syrians are going crazy doing a RTS game called Quraish, they have been busy marketing it for last year all over the place.

Quraish?
I was in Syria for about 6 weeks last fall. And haven’t heard about it. What is it about?
