Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was born in Jerusalem in the 30's Ror, which
would make him a native of that region, NOT Egypt.
Ror, I'm not saying your criticism of Said is totally off, but I would suggest you be careful about attacking him and citing such an "unbiased" figure as Bernard Lewis in the same breath.
I could cite 10 sources now that say he wasn't born in Egypt, but hey, why do that when we have ABC here.
I guess I fall into Spinsters category of the unread, b/c I frankly didn't care much for Edward Said. However, I rarely would celebrate the death of anyone with the childish vigor displayed by both Ror and ABC. Ror, I expect that from an extremist zealot such as ABC, but from you, it's a surprise.
