Look at Lewis' recent publications: Islam and the West, New York, 1993 Islam in History, 2nd edition, Chicago, 1993 The Shaping of the Modern Middle East, New York, 1994 Cultures in Conflict, New York, 1994 The Middle East: A Brief History of the Last 2,000 Years, New York, 1995 The Future of the Middle East, London, 1997 The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, London, 1998 While I have not read those books, the recent publications suggest that he has taken what he learned and used in formulating a few themes about modern Islam. Anyway, between Lewis and JohnM patronizingly stating that Lewis needs to do his homework, who do you think carries more weight with me? His list of writings and self-description also does not necessarily tell the whole story--you don't know what he has read or whom he has consulted. His post-grad students are presumably a tremendous sources of insight. His network of colleagues and former students is no doubt immense and deep.
