He talks very condescendingly and aarogantly in my opinion.

Edward Said published his book on Orientalism in 1978. It would be frustrating to express some problems and see them being repeated again and again over 20 years.

Edward Said, a precious jewel. One of those people that you wish you had met in person...

Interesante lo expresado por Edward Said sobre el libro "Choque de Civilizaciones". Sería importante que este vídeo del profesor y otros en los que él interviene sean traducidos al español, para que los hispanos podamos entenderlos mejor. La confrontación no es entre culturas como señalaba Huntington, sino del hombre contra el hombre...

Edward W. Said point the real problem of imperialist attitudes. He didn't mensure his words to show how USA set its imperialist conscience up.

@cirosuperiore Bullfuck.

Huntington and Lewis work for the Illuminati criminals that are destroying our world. For years they have been trying to get World War III going between Christians and Muslims. Death and destruction of the human race is their only agenda. And with everybody dead, what kind of New World Order will that be?

[cirosuperiore]

@dmokhtar that's because he is anti-White thirdworldist racist scumbag and does not deserve to teach in american university. i cannot believe that american taxpayers are paying this hater's salary.

[Chrotisofus]

@cirosuperiore Your comment ironically shows you yourself are the stupid, ignorant, self-hating fool, you might have missed out on that.

There are cultures that work toward a clash between Islam and Judeo-Christianity. There is money and power to be made. These powers will help cause fear between the West and Islam and use words like Islamo Fascism. On the other side, these same powers will cause fear of the West in Muslims. Wars will begin and Israel will pretend to stay out of it, but really be at the controls.

@MrILoveYeshua - Very good theory. I find Said a puzzle, as I do Chomsky. It's arguable that Chomsky is humanitarian and honest - but only when Jewish interests aren't involved. Similarly, maybe Said is humanitarian and honest - but only when Muslims aren't affected.
