Edward Said is not a Muslim, you bloody idiot...

It's because of Orientalist morons like you that Edward Said had to write a book on "Orientalism" in the first place!

I think what you need to do is listen to "Holiday in Cambodia" by the Dead Kennedys.

If "Orientalism" is so widespread than why isn't it a popular category on any of these porn tube websites? Check mate Mr. Said. Check mate. Read this only if you're openminded and hot and single: message me if you want to wage 69 our jihads, by "jihads" i mean genitals.

Just quote him saying its from a speech. Odds are though things that his saying will be in the book mentioned in the video, you should check that out

Would you be happier if they shoved in a bit of Spivak, Bhabha and Appadurai instead?

I find nothing more irritating than when white liberals quote this guy on any friggin BLOG post relating to anything middle eastern or muslim etc. (I want it known that I admire Said and his work is extremely important.) Not like it matters, but I just wanted to vent on a peronal peeve.

Does anyone know where he mentions the lens distortion in his book? I need this quotation :)

Only if you have the source. If you can find it, insert it.

thanks, but I think I need to know the organisation which conducted the interview and first published it?
