this seems very true: i can well believe it of the arabs, who are basically nomads who just came into some money, so they are parvenus. however, you should also know what happened to johann hari later. he was accused of making up stuff in interviews. i wonder if that was based on a prod from the arabs for this and other stuff that he said about them that was not very polite. so he actually took a leave of absence from the independent
But, this article could be genuine, since he seemed to changed his stance after 2006 against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, so that invariably means, he was dancing to the lunatic tunes of the Left. May be, in the throes of a very rare occasion of conscientious behaviour, he seems to have penned this article.
