The Myth of the Clash of Civilzations Part 5

To learn how Islamic Scholars lie and cheat we need to see Edward Said. Read his book Orientalism and then read the Quran and Robert Spencer books. The professors from Middle East to Pakistani all lie and spread problems. Many Indians dont know that SIMI (the terrorist students organization was created by a Muslim Professor from Indian Subcontinent.
One professor from Pakistan told me that Indian regretted the loss of Pakistan and I told him that we did not and were very happy that Muslims left India .So beware of the so called Islamic Scholars and think what you learn from them.
So here is the FRAUD Strategy and How to lie from a Respected Professor in USA. See how he lies

Edward Wadie Saïd (Arabic: إدوارد وديع سعيد‎, Idwārd Wadīʿ Saʿīd; 1 November 1935 25 September 2003) was Palestinian American literary theorist, cultural critic, and an advocate for Palestinian rights. He was a professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University and a leading theorist of postcolonialism.[1] Robert Fisk described him as the Palestinians' "most powerful political voice."[2]
[edit] Criticism
Orientalism and other works by Said have sparked a wide variety of controversy and criticism.[20] Ernest Gellner argued that Said's contention that the West had dominated the East for more than 2,000 years was unsupportable, noting that until the late 17th century the Ottoman Empire had posed a serious threat to Europe.[21] Mark Proudman notes that Said had claimed that the British Empire extended from Egypt to India in the 1880s, when in fact the Ottoman and Persian Empires intervened.[22] Others argued out that even at the height of the imperial era, European power in the East was never absolute, and remained heavily dependent on local collaborators, who were frequently subversive of imperial aims.[23] Another criticism is that the areas of the Middle East on which Said had concentrated, including Palestine and Egypt, were poor examples for his theory, as they came under direct European control only for a relatively short period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These critics suggested that Said devoted much less attention to more apt examples, including the British Raj in India, and Russias dominions in Asia, because Said was more interested in making political points about the Middle East.[24]
Orientalism is the 1978 book by Edward Said that has been highly influential in postcolonial studies.
In the book, Said says that orientalism, especially the academic study of, and discourse, political and literary, about the Arabs, Islam, and the Middle East that primarily originated in England, France, and then the United States actually creates a divide between the East and the West.

Samuel Phillips Huntington (April 18, 1927December 24, 2008) was an American political scientist who gained prominence through his Clash of Civilizations (1993, 1996) thesis of a post-Cold War new world order.
The Clash of Civilizations is a theory, proposed by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, that people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post-Cold War world.
The theory was originally formulated in a 1992 lecture[1] at the American Enterprise Institute, which was then developed in a 1993 Foreign Affairs article titled "The Clash of Civilizations?",[2] in response to Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man. Huntington later expanded his thesis in a 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.
The term itself was first used by Bernard Lewis in an article in the September 1990 issue of The Atlantic Monthly titled The Roots of Muslim Rage.[3]
Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami introduced the idea of Dialogue Among Civilizations as a response to the theory of Clash of Civilizations. The term "Dialogue among Civilizations" became more known after the United Nations adopted a resolution to name the year 2001 as the year of Dialogue among Civilizations.[4]

I agree with Said. We need to collectively chill out and shake hands once in a while. I've met as many awsome Dems as Reps as Christians as Muslims as druggies as sobers as men as women, et cetera. I would shake hands with all of them. And even the people who calls themselves anything who treat me like crap are sill people. They probably need a hug more than anyone.

Peace and love.

[Grovies]

This is so funny. I was watching these videos because I have to write an essay on the so-called Clash of Civilizations, and I only read the description at the fifth video. You, sir, are a complete and utter retard.

[nomoreliberties]

@bobbygnosis well said



[crackprods]

Totally classic, the person who posted this has no idea what the man is saying. Clash of hemispheres...?

[dijibubb]

yes in philosophy they are called binary dualisms- and they tend to be false, a semantic and cognitive shorcut

[WeToldYouSo1]

It is not a myth. Read the East-West Dichotomy! It's the way humankind is organized: opposite forces that strive for equilibrium.

@dd1857

You should educate yourself.

And to clarify, the "civilizational issues" in this case were largely US support for Israel in the Israeli Palestinian conflict and American military presence in much of the Muslim world, including the holiest sites of Islam.

[Adnowwwwn]

@grantorgeir Americans shit their pants when they see bearded men like Al Qaeda and the Taliban speak of Islamic law or terrorism because they are alien to the culture. Much of the Muslim world on the other hand, views those people as heroes.

Its the "us versus them" mentality that has prevailed here and fueled stupid wars like Iraq that had no basis whatsoever. People wanted to hit Iraq because of their hatred for Islam after 9/11.

[Adnowwwwn]

@grantorgeir I'm not arguing that we stop diplomacy and understanding. I'm arguing that we are INCAPABLE of understanding because of VAST and contrasting cultural differences. You can't love who you are unless you hate what you are not.

Shit won't hit the fan just because of cultural differences. It will hit the fan because of civilizational issues, and the resulting war will be greatly facilitated by those cultural differences.

[grantorgeir]

@Adnowwwwn and that is not an argument for increased diplomacy and understanding? so what if we initially can't understand each other? Is that a reason to continue the alienation-process until the shit hits the fan?
