He does have one moment in his blathering where he accidentally lets some 
truth in that other Arab writers do their utmost to keep out. He admits that 
the Temple Mount (the site he mentions) is "holy to both Arabs and Israelis".

Well, it should read "Jews", not "Israelis", but close enough. Of course that 
bit about Sharon provoking the recent onset of violence is bullshit, since 
Sharon's visit was an excuse, not a reason.
