		<description>Maybe it reflects the nature of the Hafiz el-Assad regime, but Syrian origin psychiatrist Wafa Sultan and German Professor Bassam Tibi share a lot of the basic Neocon view of the world with Zuhdi Jasser.

When I met Tibi at Harvard, I was not particularly impressed with his understanding of Central and Eastern European history and politics. 

I give him credit for reading Hannah Arendt ("&lt;a href="http://www.aicgs.org/documents/advisor/tibi.tmpr07.pdf" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Totalitarianism of Jihadist Islamism and its Challenge to Europe and to Islam&lt;/a&gt;." in: Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions, Vol. 8, No. 1, March 2007, 35–54.), but I do not believe he understood her or her context, and I have some real problems when he applies her half-understood concepts to issues of Islamic politicization as found in the Islamic world and in Europe.</description>

		<description>I found your site after my friend brought this racist pos movie named obsession. I looked up the Clarion Fund and eventually found this.

This might interest you...

Found using google.com are two pdf files on the obsession website which outline an apparent exchange between a Rep. Hasner of Flordia and Dr. Machento, president of the University of Flordia. Seems Hasner was pissed off when Flordia refused to show this POS movie.
