I was watching this man’s show; Mohammed Hassanein Haikal, on al Jazeera TV just now, I read some articles for him before and I watched a couple of interviews with him. I always knew he is an intelligent arab journalist; but never thought that he is that interesting.
Im not so much into politics but I found myself watching him now, he has a great way in gaining the listeners’ attention, and the most incredible thing about him is that he is over 80! This guy has brains in his head more than I ever did, and more than anyone I know does. His show is a weekly show I guess, every thursday 10pm our time, I strongly recomend watching it.
I hate him with a passion, or let me rephrase, I dispise him! He’s a major massee7 joukh and a hypocrite! Yuck!
Welcome back One! 🙂 Hehe.
Regardless of our personal openions of this man, and regardless of his political point of views! but he is an intellectual 84 years old man who still has the ability to talk and analyze in a way that a 40 years old fellow can’t! I am amazed of his mental abilities mashallah!
Talk is cheap, and it is extra cheap if the person doing the talking doesn’t believe in what he says. “Regardless of his political views” ? How can I disregard his political views when the only thing he talks and writes about is politics? Allow me to quote from the link you gave us on Haikal: “he is a commentator on Middle East affairs “, enough said.
And by the way, 40 year old fellows are NOT smart 😛 Mish miqyas.

Three: I look forward to it!
I’m not sure why someone would trash-talk Mr. Heikal. I’ve read several of his books on the Middle East and I’m also a devoted follower of each and every lecture of his. The guy knows what he’s talking about. True, he indulges in details at times, but most often he’s on the mark. One can’t determine his intelligence from his lectures, but should be able to use his knowledge as a great summary of what happened over the past 50 years and what to expect in the coming 50. God bless him, his work is nothing short of spectacular!
