For the record. After my last appearance on AlJazeera, I wrote this comment about a remark that `Abdur-Rahim Fuqara' (the Washington, DC bureau chief) made on the air. Today, Fuqara' left me a long and very kind message. He stressed that he made the remark in a light-hearted fashion, and that no offense was intended. I have not reached him yet but I accept his explanation. His message was very nice.
