My guess is that Said has an argument with your point but I also guess that you will never hear it. Since you've already made up your mind that he is untrustworthy.


Let me state my own arguments, please. What I believe about Edward Said is that he highly political, and that he, like many of the far left, is directing attention away from the important point that has brought itself to our attention in the last month, namely, that Islamicism is a dangerous movement, not just to Israel and the moderate Arab states, but also to us.

In my opinion, attempts to pooh-pooh Islamicism and direct our attention away from its dangers in the direct aftermath of the WTC attack is misdirection, nor do I think I have displayed a closed mind because I have dared to say so.
