He's a sharp guy, but misses a couple very important points.
he states: "the US actually occupies the two most important Muslim holy sites, Mecca and Medina. And through Israel, which is seen as an outpost of Western imperialism in the Arab world, the US occupies Jerusalem the third most holy Muslim city."

While we are invited guests near Mecca & Medina his use of "occupies" is excessive or at least less than fully correct and honest. His statement of "through Israel" is contemptuous on so many levels as to defy all description and he has missed the point that Jerusalem is not only the most Holy city of ONLY Islam but also Christianity and Judaism.

When I have made every effort to stop any whom would suppress those of the Islamic faith, his slighting of the equal status of other religions takes me aback.
