I was listening to `Abdullah Nafisi. He is a smart Kuwaiti intellectual who traveled from Arab nationalism to Marxism and then to Islamism. He is very principled against Israel but is now pathetically appeasing the GCC potentates. He was speaking on Al-Arabiyya (news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law) against Iran and Persians (in racist terms) and referred to Mahmud Larijani (brother of Ali Larijani) and said that Mahmud graduated from MIT at Harvard.
