Carl Gibeily (IPA /ka:l ʤɪbeɪli/), born in 1966 in Lebanon, is a former Lebanese journalist for The Daily Star and The Gulf Online, and an author.[1] His writing and articles often question the relationship between East and West, and also examine the complex political, social and psychological issues prevalent in the Middle East. For example, his article 'A global duality', examines the animosity held by the West towards the East, with their horror of 'weapons of mass destruction' and fears of an end to Western democracy.[2] Gibeily has written three fictional novels: Pairing the Twain published in 1992 by The Book Guild; Blueprint for a Prophet, published in 1997 by Doubleday; and Greater than a Wall by Akkadia Press in 2017.[3][4][5]
