I am not sure I agree that extreme Salafisme is not gaining ground in the Arab region, however I do think the message that one should neither think Muslims and Arabs are easily sliding into al-Qaeda's arms is useful - the underlying message that a solid majority are more concerned with seeing things like corruption addressed is true - the issue is it has to be... well addressed, else the Salafi puritans begin to look good.
