Liberal Arab Columnist: 'Why do Arabs Hate the West, Especially the U.S.?'
This, of course, is another Special Dispatch from MEMRI. The only hesitation I have about a "liberal" voice in the Arab world is that a liberal Arab sounds awfully like a liberal Westerner--much given to naiveté and Narcissism, and boy, does it ever show! Except in this case, much of what he says is correct. It's always refreshing to see _anyone_ get the history straight! He reminds everyone that Arabs invaded Europe before the Crusades even began, castigates the "regression" of Arabs since 1948, and even says that Arab "fascism and fundamentalist Islam have nothing to offer people"--a direct slam against men like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.::Submitted for your wild man of the desert files.
