Title: wish i could give it 0 stars
Product review: As a right-winger, i championed this book because of its "common sense" insights into the arab malaise. This book does a great job of explaining to folks who already have made up their minds that there is something wrong with people from the middle east. However, upon further research, i discovered that besides the historical facts as being invented or manipulated, Lewis has a history of racism against arabs. Lewis, it should also be remembered, counciled president Bush to go to war against Iraq. The book is actually quite dangerous to humanity's future. I hope that people be very careful reading this book. I would suggest that one reads this book in conjunction with Edward Said's "Orientalism" -- a book which is better researched and brings to light Lewis' racist arguments.
