In this article you have asserted that Arab populations are generally hostile towards the West. If your statement is sincere, you are gravely mistaken. I do not know whether you have ever visited Arab countries, but many in the inhabitants of both the Levantine region and Arab Northern Africa have a very pro-Western stance.

Daniel Pipes replies:
Yes, I lived three years in Egypt, plus periods in Tunisia and Turkey.
Pro-Western is a good one.
