The eminent Walid Phares has still time to read according to this article. One can now understand the depth of his analysis when the guy’s favorite authors are Bernard Lewis and Bat Yeor…
Lewis’ central thesis (after 50 years of work in the field – time does not help to mature seemingly) is that Muslims are a homogeneous crowd of angry and resentful people against the West. Bat Yeor’s work is more modest in its ambitions. He just wants to show that Muslim have a complex system for treating non-Muslims like animal, that real “Anti-semitism” was practiced not by European but by Muslims.
