MEMRI, The Middle East Media Research Institute is running a series of writings by Arab liberals and their thoughts on the global jihad doctors: 

Arab Liberals on the 'Terrorist Doctors' Plot in the U.K.

The recent failed terror attacks in London and Glasgow provoked a great deal of commentary among liberals in the Middle East and North African media, in particular due to the alleged involvement of a number of doctors in the plot. Some writers dwelt on the paradox of those trained to save lives becoming terrorists; others pointed to the suspects' backgrounds in order to argue that poverty and ignorance are not the main cause of terrorism; and a number of writers addressed the issue of Muslim immigration in Europe and the U.S. 

The authors and their subjects include:

  • 'Abd Al-Rahman Al-Rashed: How Can One Explain the Fact That a Doctor Could Plan to Kill Innocent People?
  • Mustapha Hammouche: Misery and Ignorance Are Not the Main Cause of Terrorism; Islamism is a Point of Moral Rupture
  • Kurdish Journalist Tariq Hemo: The Western Countries Are Reaping the Harvest of Overly Liberal Immigration Policies
  • Khudayr Taher: Europe and America Should Deport All Muslims - Including Myself
