An Amazon.com reader wrote a hilarious negative online review of Fouad
Ajami's book "The Arab Predicament." The reader thought it was "very
disappointing," displaying the "selective ignorance that has plagued many
Arab accounts of the Middle East for years."
Among the reviewer's complaints: Ajami refers to Hezbollah as the "Party of
God" in order "to deflect the reader's attention away from the true nature
of this organization." (Hezbollah means "Party of God" in Arabic.)
And this is the clincher: "He refuses to call the Yom Kippur War by its
accepted name."
