Remembering Fouad Ajami
Viewers of AC360 will likely recognize Fouad Ajami. He was a frequent guest on the show and a Middle East scholar. He passed away last June.
Fouad's writings include some 400 essays on Arab and Islamic politics, US foreign policy, and contemporary international history. Today the Hoover Institution Press is releasing a collection of his essays in the book "This Arab Time."
We wanted to share one of those essays. Click here to read "The Making of Strangers - Muslims, Jews, and the Other 1492."
