French orientalist Gilles Kepel, who was for a long time the dean of Arab
Studies in France, obtained a lot of UAE & Gulf financing in the past but
suddenly lost it 3 years ago, which was one of the reasons that led to
the marginalization of his Chair at Sciences Po.
Now that he has lost the financing, he suddenly found out that Gulf money
was a "Satanic manna destroying Arab societies"
"pour comprendre le processus à l’œuvre, il
faut connaître les déchirements intimes de ces sociétés en voie de
modernisation, qui vivent aux rythmes des chaines satellitaires comme Al Jazeera
et sont sous perfusion des pétro dollars du golfe, cette manne satanique qui
détruit les sociétés arabes et aujourd’hui dévoie les aspirations fondatrices
des révolutions." (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
