Arab Columnists Speak Out

Here are some interesting columns from Arab newspapers. In particular, the column by Abdallah Rashid in the Al-Itihad is an excellent analysis of the roots of terrorism. It's striking to me that the authors are willing to clearly and openly discuss the cancer within their society despite the danger doing so causes them and their families. Interesting as well that the authors recognize what spurs terrorism, even while Chomsky, NY Times, et al. here in the States is too busy lost in a little dream where U.S. policy has created Islamism.
Actually, Chomsky and American media have probably never even heard of Sayyid Qutb, so it's no wonder they wouldn't understand Islamism.

(Btw. I haven't been brushing up on my Arabic. I just read English translations of the columns thanks to the MEMRI institute)
