From my “Terms of Service” page, written sometime before this blog went public:
Speaking of guarantees, another appropriate analogy is that this weblog is a lot like western civilization or modern life as we know it. Just because it’s here today, that’s no guarantee it will be here tomorrow.
My sincerest apologies to my many friends, readers, subscribers, fellow bloggers, and “millions of adoring fans.” I leave the anti-jihad in good hands—and I do mean leave. For now, at least, the great Haid Dasalami is no more.
The reasons for my decision are personal, but I will say that things aren’t going all that well for me right now, and this action has become necessary. I’m not Brett Favre or Michael Jordan, so there may be no comeback. My retirement is quite possibly permanent.
This domain may nevertheless remain online for quite a time—a spectacle along the lines of “that colossal wreck” of Shelley’s “Ozymandias”—but the party’s over. It’s time to wind up my little charade.
It’s time to call it a day.

You just have to listen to the song. Please. No blog has ever gone out like this, I’m willing to bet.
I know, I know.
I’m a genius.
Haid, your posts were rare and eagerly awaited treats for me. Thank you for taking the time to write them. I am so sorry for whatever you may be going through in your life. You have been such a kind encouragement to me, and I wish you all the very best in life, and that whatever you are going through, know this: God is with you, and His grace is sufficient, though it seems like you might be going through Hell. I will keep you in my mind, my heart and my prayers, always. Much love to you, friend.
…and yes, Mel….Haid’s a genius.
Effendi,
You achieve a kind of perfection: the best-run unread –and unwritten– blog in all blogistan! Thanks for the ride.
You can send me some music, directly, from now on.
Haid,
I shall go into mourning!
Whatever is going in your life, I will be praying for you!
Two sayings come to mind that may help when things are not going well:
1) What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
2) This too shall pass.
Wish you the best.
i’m sad cuz i really like yur writing
yur okay haid a real gentleman
and youll be back
you bring beautey to the world
Average Joe said something both deciperable and comprehensible that I can agree with! You really ARE a genius, Haid!
I’m sorry to hear this news. I hope things are well for you. Ironically, I came here to tell that after many months, I finally made a new post on my blog.
Good luck on whatever is occupying you and yes, the music is genius.
This blows.
I’m gonna miss ya, old man. Drop by once in a while.
I’ll be praying for you too.
