IS ANYBODY
LISTENING?
In the wake of increased terrorist attacks around the world and at a time of countercultural
revolutions of global and historic proportions, spearheaded by terrorists who use Islam as a
cover, and by other extremists and nascent far-right parties in the West, Khalaf Al Habtoor
underscores the Arab perspective on key challenges in the Middle East, and issues a clarion
call for Arab and non-Arab states to stand “hand-to-hand, heart-to-heart” to fight this alien
sickness that is tearing the world apart.
“
This book raises the biggest
question behind all the chaos and
violence across the Middle East:
why do Western policy makers
not listen to those with the most
knowledge and expertise across
the Arab world? Mr Habtoor -- a
man whose own personal life
story of great business success
runs in parallel with some of the
great changes in the Gulf region,
is well known and respected as
an "unocial diplomat" trying to
encourage dialogue, to educate
and explain the region which is
so oen misunderstood.
Intelligent and provocative, this
book demands that we listen.
