A Liberal Arab Voice Worthy of Three Sources

The Refugee has hesitated to make this post, because the content does not introduce new ideas or angles to Three Sources. Nevertheless, a reference to an Al Jazeera interview is perhaps remarkable enough to make it blog-worthy. Moreover, it is an Arab (Kuwaiti) journalist talking about the importance of individual rights, secularism and the necessary separation of government and religion. Though Three Sourcers will simply say, "Here, here," it is nice to see this topic being debated openly in Arab society. This link is to the transcript. The video is available, but loads slowly and is subtitled anyway. The topic around which the debate takes place is the journalist's position that Palestinians would be better off if aid to them were eliminated and they were left to their own devices.
