The article “The evil Pied Pipers of the Arab world” by Khaled Almaeena (July 6) is a timely and commendable write up. We have to do something to stop all this violence and chaos before it is too late. May Allah save and protect us all. Mohammed J, Online response II. We need guts. Khaled Almaeena said it well. But don't you think that these despots and the commotions in their countries are triggered by outside “forces” whose main interest is to create chaos in the Arab world to serve their agenda? Do you truly believe that all Arab leaders can come together and declare independence from outside interferences? Do you believe that Arabs and Muslims have enough guts and power to do so? I think not! T. Tawfiq, Online response
