Her writing during this period was criticised by Middle-east scholar Edward Said for the anti-Islamic bias in her writing . In his book '' Covering Islam '' Said stated that Miller 's book '' God Has Ninety-Nine Names '' " is like a textbook of the inadequacies and distortions of media coverage of Islam . " He criticised her poor grasp of Arabic , saying that " nearly every time she tries to impress us with her ability to say a phrase or two in Arabic she unerringly gets it wrong ... They are the crude mistakes committed by a foreigner who neither has care nor ... respect for her subject . " He concluded Miller " fears and dislikes Lebanon , hates Syria , laughs at Libya , dismisses Sudan , feels sorry for and a little alarmed by Egypt and is repulsed by Saudi Arabia . She has n't bothered to learn the language and is relentlessly only concerned with the dangers of Islamic militancy , which , I would hazard a guess , accounts for less than 5 percent of the billion-strong Islamic world . " However , Miller asserted that in the wake of the September 11 attacks she argued that militant Islamism of the type represented by Al Qaeda had peaked and was fading into insignificance
