About Qunfuz
Qunfuz is the Arabic word for ‘hedgehog’ or ‘porcupine’.
I am Robin Yassin-Kassab, born in west London in 1969. Except for six months in Beirut, I grew up in England and Scotland. I have lived and worked in London, France, Pakistan, Turkey, Syria, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Oman.
I am the author of The Road From Damascus, a novel published by Hamish Hamilton and Penguin, and by il Saggiatore in Italy.
I’m also a co-editor and regular contributor to PULSE, recently listed by Le Monde Diplomatique as one of its five favourite websites.
Dear Robin,
My name is Massoud, I’m an Iranian graphic designer living in Houston, Texas. I just read your wonderful article on Iran and of course through that I discovered “Qunfuz”. I just wanted to inform you about a good article/document “Whither Iran?” on http://babakzahraie.blogspot.com . I think you will find it very informative.
Also I was part of a team to help MP George Galloway in Houston to gain supports from Americans to break the siege of Gaza. I also was part of a team to invite Gilad Atzmon the Musician/Writer to Houston. I have a few nice posters that I have designed in regard to Palestine and Gaza, which I’ll be glad to e-mail you these files (in JPEG) to you, if you are interested.
Lastly, I was going to ask if you do travel abroad for giving lectures.
Thanks.

Thanks, Massoud. Nice to meet you. It sounds like you are doing great work in Texas. You can email me your posters qunfuz@hotmail.co.uk. And yes, I do travel abroad to give lectures, so long as my travel and accomodation is paid for.

A single article of yours was enough to know you. Proud to have rationale among Muslims too.
