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.
