Hilarious: Al-Arabiyya Book section

This is most hilarious.  Al-Arabiyya (the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law) never bothered with books, like Aljazeera (before it discovered Abu Muhammad the witness who can see 14 cities in Syria simultaneously).  I just watched the episode (the first time I see it).  The woman presenter can't pronounce the titles of the books cited.  Secondly, the first book mentioned: a book by Walid Phares.  The second book: is a book on the Hariri revolt by Michael Young.  I kid you not.  This is live.  In the following episode, the show will prove that Hariri's speeches are comparable, philosophically speaking, to Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit.

PS I hear Michael Young speak Arabic for the first time.  Let me put it this way: Ambassador Richard Murphy and Richard P Parker speak better--much better--Arabic.

PPS Oh, Young continues his crusade to liberate the Shi`ites of Lebanon.  As is known, this expert on offshoots in Islam, is supremely qualified to liberate Shi`ites especially that his Hariri credentials make him popular in the southern suburbs.
