@16thHop More liberal pablum. The ever elusive "moderate" Islam that the "extremists" hijack. What planet do you live on. There is NO MODERATE ISLAM.
The Koran is exact and relentless. Left to itself Islam ends up in a completely totalitarian society every time. Turkey is reverting to Islamic state..with only the
pure power of the military to moderate it. Theocracy, militrary rule, dictatorship, family ruling clan...thats Islam..and still you play games.

@871yt The model for most Arabs (including the M. Brotherhood) is the secular Turkish one, NOT the violent Iranian form. They have said this clearly many times and we can see it in the growing disdain for Iran resulting from their hideous actions in Syria. Salafis are a different story, but they aren't even close to controlling the reigns of power in the region.

@s1187a In the world of English Literature. Edward Said was a self contradictory clown.

@16thHop Ah yes the Arab Spring.....you are so delusional..so typically muslim that
you didnt even notice that all you got was one more cycle of Islam. Who controls Egypt? Muslim Brotherhood and the Military..nothing EVER changes in
Islam..ever.
-
@cko299 I would say that the "gullible" were those cheering the Arab Spring..remember?
Just a year ago..the new beginning of the Arab World..freedom...hope..change.
Edward Said would have been purveying that delusion with all his might...and when
we got the Muslim Brotherhood and the crushing of dissent..Said would havent even noticed
-
@871yt as if you've lived there.
Being Islamic country does not entail hell Malaysia and UAE set a beautiful example of Islamic countries. apparently you're a racist who hate blacks and jews, am I right??
-
@871yt And you're DEFINETLY not spouting right wing propaganda to the gullible.

@zizovid What Edward Said was..is the way Edward Said lived his life.
Inside Academia..utterly. Repeating the formulas of Culural Marxism..to the tee.
Spouting Leftist propaganda to gullible 19 year olds. He never lived in the hell of an
Islamic country,..he lived a lie...and he seduced the stupid and the young into his madness
-
Said's points seem to have triumphed over Lewis' et al. views that Muslims hate democracy and freedom. Look at the Arab Spring in which young people were willing to die and brave torture to fight for secular values in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, etc. Whether these victories might be stolen from the youth is yet to be seen, but the seed of liberalism is there and what it needs is time to germinate, not American strongmen or bombs.
Edward Saeed isn't a Muslims, he is Christian. Both Edward Saeed and Norman Finkelstein, who's a Jewish, talk fairly and that's what differentiate them from others specially Bernard Lewis who him self is a big cheater.
And all those terrorists they don't resemble Islam.
Islam is a faith of Peace and Equality. I my self have Muslim friends who show nothing but being nice and respectful.

Edward Said may have been a Palestinian christian but i don't even think you could even call him religious! He was typical of Leftist Academia, which is aligned with the pro-Islam, anti-Zionist camp.
I am not a big fan of Samuel P. Huntington, particularly his book "Who Are We?" which is tripe. but Edward Said is no saint either. They are BOTH ideologues. (yawn)

Edward Said was neither an Islamic scholar nor a Muslim. He was a professor of English and Comparative Literature and a Palestinian- American Christian. So the point you are trying to make with this video doesnt make any sense. Nice video though 5 stars!

well check his video.Huntington has said that islam is a problem and you see it every where.
The clash is happening.India is seeing it every day.I still rembemebr the Radio Bombs in the buses of delhi and trains.
So Edward Said basically tries to debunk the islamic Jihad etc.
bristish gave india its universites after 800 years.
Indian universitues were destroyed by islam.Check Nalanda university.
So be careful of islamic and middle eastern scholars
