Phares in HNN questions readiness of Middle East studies for Arab Spring
"It is unfortunate that Western and particularly leading US Middle Eastern studies have been catering to the authoritarian regimes, using scores of intellectual subterfuges, and once the regimes are collapsing, shifting to a copy cat with the forthcoming Islamist Governments. It would have been in the interest of the American public, its lawmakers and the international community to obtain an objective and balanced assessment from Middle East academic expertise."

Phares to CR News: "US Policy of engagement with the Assad regime has failed, lessons to be learned"
Commenting on the US change of direction regarding the Assad regime's legitimacy Professor Walid Phares author of "The Coming Revolution: Struggle for Freedom in the Middle East," told Cedars Revolution News (CR News) that "while we surely endorse the push by the US Administration for Assad to step down, we also invite Washington's foreign policy establishment to admit that the policy of engagement with the Baathist dictatorship at the expense of fundamental freedoms of the Syrian people and the liberty of the Lebanese people was wrong. This change of direction which we have called for must become a lesson for the future including for the next stages in Syria and throughout the Arab Spring: no endorsement to regimes based on totalitarian ideolgies, should they be secular or religious."

"As predicted in Coming Revolution, secular and Islamist Egyptians to a face off on constitution"
"As I predicted in my book 'The Coming Revolution: Struggle for Freedom in the Middle East", secular Egyptians and Islamist, after the collapse of the Authoritarians will face off on constitutional reforms. It will happen in Egypt as liberal youth will seek democratization and the Muslim Brotherhood will seek Islamization. First round this Saturday's referendum."

"D. Mohamed: So Long my good friend in the struggle against Slavery, I will miss you"
"My good friend Professor Dominic Mohamed died this week. It is with great sorrow that I salute him and pray for his soul. Together, and with many other abolitionists, we struggled to expose and put an end to Slavery in Sudan. So long my friend, you and Samuel Cotton, will be missed but you will be never forgotten. Sudan and Africa owes you lots."
