#1 Read the full story at the link, he starts to actually make sense towards the end of his article.
Imagine that, an arab that actually makes sense!
Never thought I'd live long enough to see that.

#2 big jim, do you read Taheri often? He's made sense for a very long time.

#4 I always liked this guy. One of the few arabs that don't wander around, zombie-like, muttering everything is the joooos and the US's fault.

#5 Actually, Amir Taheri is an iranian, anti-mullah to his core and quite well informed on ME policies.

#6 Terrorism cannot be defeated and eventually uprooted unless it is deprived of the swamps of despotism in which it breeds like deadly mosquitoes.

And we need to stay the course, and keep a full supply of "bug repellant" handy. This was an appropriate analogy.

I hope most Islamoslimes will "come back" in the next life as some sort of insect that is deastined to be stepped on. CRUNCH. Then eaten by a housecat as a mid-afternoon snack.

#8 Good read. Reasoned discourse. Wish the MSM in the US would write more like Amir Taheri. One might conclude that word merchants of US MSM are either dumb or lazy or both. Drain the swamp ASAP.

#9 Are you sure he is Arab? he is from Iran so could be Persian.

#10 call him an arab and he will behead you with a pencil--he used to be the editor of tehran's leading daily newspaper until the mullahs wanted to liquidate him--he's one of the smartest middle east analysts we have and is on the side of freedom
