>>" why don't U read Bernard Lewis and get Ur head out of Ur ass.............. "<< Ah yes, Bernard Lewis, who wrote the WSJ op-ed predicting that Achmadinejad was going to end the world on August 22, 2006. As you suggest, from the the depths of your ass, let's reread what the "great?" Bernard Lewis wrote again and what Fareed Zakaria said about those writings. "Last year, the Princeton scholar, Bernard Lewis, a close adviser to Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal predicting that on Aug. 22, 2006, President Ahmadinejad was going to end the world. The date, he explained, "is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the Prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back. This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world" (my emphasis). This would all be funny if it weren't so dangerous. " newsweek.com
