Title: Orientalist Bias Continues
Product review: (...) This book, just another in a longline of redundant and reductive texts he has produced, offers nothingnew. It is about as interesting as a book that blames the fall of theroman empire on their ethnicity of the romans and the belief inchristianity. That the answers like in the 'mindset' (read, geneticmakeup) of these people who are just not able to cope because theirchristian religion is backward and regressive and opposed to thecreativity being bought forward by the new emerging empires of Islam.I doubt that the latter thesis would even see the light of day. Iwould certainly not waste my time reading such reductive hogwash.Unfortunately, we live in times where a (person) like Mr. Lewis can bepublished, repeatedly, and celebrated by a handful of people becausehe published stuff about Islam and Arabs that no one would eversuggest publishing about another people, society, dynasty orethnicity. Keep looking
