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 o€en misunderstood.

Intelligent and provocative, this

book demands that we listen.
