-- "The Coming Collision Between the West and the Muslims" was the
title of Khaled Al-Tarrah's piece in progressive Arabic daily
Al-Qabas in which he commented (10/30):
"To correct the image of Islam and Muslims and counter any collision
between the Muslims and Western society requires a serious of
untraditional dialogues between all the concerned parties."
-- Ambassador Abdulla Bishara editorializing on democracy in the
Arab World in moderate Arabic daily Al-Watan under the title
"Protecting the Nation and the Ruin of Time" wrote (10/30):
"We have to concede that 'quarter' democracy is better than 'no
democracy' as this 'quarter' may reach 'half' or more with the lapse
of time and with the harmony between the 'soil' and the
'experiment'."
-- In moderate Arabic daily Al-Watan and under the title "Terrorism
Prevailed" Salafi Dr. Fahd Al-Khanna held that:
"The fourth victory by terror against America and the West is the
growth in the effect of the sectarian and extremist Iranian regime
in the region as Iran is still planting sedition in Iraq, Lebanon
and GCC countries."
