Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan and Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek, “the Elvis of cultural theory,” discuss the revolution in Egypt with insight, wisdom, humor and clarity. What a refreshing alternative to the blowhards on American television.
I love Zizek’s “Tom and Jerry” analogy (though I think he means Wile E. Coyote). At the point President Hosni Mubarak looks down he will see there is no ground beneath his feet and he’s in free fall. But he keeps staring straight ahead.
