Don't you like it when Arab neo-conservatives praise one another? Here is Ajami on Rashid: "7. We know that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful, honorable people. But what do you say to people who ask why almost every terrorist is a Muslim?
I say there is a painful truth here, and that one of the Arab world’s most influential and liberal journalists, the Saudi Abdulrahman al-Rashed, head of Al-Arrabiya television channel based in Dubai, bluntly observed that not all Muslims are terrorists, but all (most?) terrorists are Muslims." This is the first time that I saw a reference to Ar-Rashid as "most influential". But maybe he meant most influential among the House of Saud princes.
