An Islamist Endorsement of Bernard Lewis

The debate has become far more vicious since September 11, 2001, and one sign of that has been that the eminent scholar Bernard Lewis – someone who has savored Islamic culture and professionally studied it for some seventy years – has been called such vulgar names such as an "Islamophobe."

Such a step would be inconceivable today. (September 1, 2004)
