Bill Clinton is in Qatar at the US-Islamic conference where Muslims are seething about the US standing in the way of destroying Israel, and he says it’s all just a big misunderstanding: Clinton Discusses Muslims’ View of US.

DOHA, Qatar - Former President Clinton said Monday that many Muslims have a distorted view of the United States because they often judge America solely on the basis of the Mideast peace process.

Clinton told a U.S.-Islamic World Forum that Americans also had problems understanding the Islamic world because their judgments were based on the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Too many Americans know too little about the Islamic world, and much of what they know they learned after Sept. 11 through the narrow lens of terror,” Clinton told the forum, organized by the Washington-based Brookings Institution.

“What people do out of anger, pain and fear both darkens and distorts reality,” said Clinton.

I wonder how much the Arabs paid him for these jewels of wisdom.
