The typical cowardice of Arab liberals

"The liberal standard-bearer, the Progressive Democratic Party, sometimes known here as the Western party, raced to distance itself from the film. “We are against blasphemy,” said Ahmed Bouazzi, a member of the party’s executive committee. “And we respect the freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of creativity. And we are against violence.”" 


PS Do you notice that Times' David Kirkpatrick does not talk to Arab communists or Arab nationalists? He only recognizes Islamists and pro-US Wahhabi liberals.
