setting everything else aside, the idea that no one is willing to sacrifice and die for [western liberalism] is, uh, unsupported in the history
"Democracy Dies In Darkness. And it Deserved To Die." Huh. Why could papers be dying? The world wonders...

Hamid is simply against secular liberalism because he's a Muslim Brotherhood supporter. Apparently it doesn't matter what kind of authoritarian someone is - Hamid will support them to destroy liberalism. Also like a lot of tankies.

Hamid worked for Brookings - which takes so much Qatari money they have a Doha campus. So much respectable discourse about the ME is just plain paid for, but in this case the money amplifies a weirdo ideologue.
