Hmm. Actually, his book exposes and problematizes the concept of orientalism.

LOL. "the Arabs showed that they could fight." The Arabs lost the war even though they outnumbered their opponent 10 to 1. Edward Said is a moron and his book should be first read to inocculate oneself against his kind of "reasoning" and then immediately afterwards it should be burned.

He didn't say the Arabs showed that they could fight. He was talking about the Egyptians. Egyptians are not Arabic.
We could argue that ... ( 1 month ago by sauvesean)
We could argue that point, since the official language of Egypt is Arabic. But what can not be denied is that Egyptians were a part of the war that I was talking about in which the entire Middle-East including Egypt attacked Israel and lost horribly, showing that they can not do anything at all let alone fight.

Sorry, do you mean to say that he is talking about the War of Attrition?
Even so, Egypt lost that war too, even witht he help of the "PLO."

sauvesean, you talk about the ability to fight as if it's a measure of one's civilization? since when was going in to a country, ethnically cleansing its people, kicking them out because they do not follow your religion civilized? burning books, calling another scholar a moron for having a different opinion than you is the epitome of ignorance and arrogance. And it is precisely people like you who mr. Said discusses in his book.

The video says "showing that the Arabs can actually fight." I was responding to that.
I am calling him a moron because he is WRONG, not because he "has a different opinion." Your false accusations will not go unanswered.

i think you are both missing the point of what Edward Said is saying. His arguement is not about who won what war. It is about the language we use to observe, and the way in which the west imposes certain values with language.
The breadth of your ... ( 1 month ago by Sense008)
The breadth of your arrogance and ignorance is truly staggering. Read his book... The point is not to defend Islam or attack the west. it's meant to get a better and more scientific form of orientalism which is not based on 19th century race theories and the assumption that western culture is superior to other cultures. His book is about the perception of Islam. Not about Islam. oh and btw. anyone as judgemental as you deserves to be called a moron....

The point was not whther or not they lost... it was the idea that we in the west had that they would not fight, which to great western surprise they did...

how on earth can someone call Edward Said a "moron" what books have you written, what great impact have you had on post-colonial theory? you are truly ignorant.

You have just ... ( 1 month ago by sauvesean)
You have just commited the appeal to authority logical fallacy. Simply because I have not author a book on the subject does not make my opinion any less valid, nor the facts any different.
Calling me ignorant only shows your lack of ability to have a civilized conversation. You do no favours to Mr. Said by your insults of me.
i would more so say ... ( 1 month ago by princessanddollbaby)
i would more so say that calling a great a revolutionary and well respected academic a "moron" and insulting his book in such a narrow minded way makes you an inherent hypocrite. also shows that your views on orientalism are some what limited. are you saying you see no truth from his work? because that is a bit of a worry then.
RIP Edward Said ( 1 day ago by Adiru182)
