[lbo-talk] America's Anti-Muslim Prejudice

[B.]

I bought Arabs and Israel For Beginners (you know, the
embarrassing "Witters and Readers" series no "serious"
leftist will admit they've bought) several years ago,
after over a decade or so of reading Chomsky and
Finkelstein and Hermen, et al. I'm not sure how much
more nuanced and intricate one could expect one's
interpretation of Mid East events to be, after at
least a decade of reading that sort of thing.

And also, Joel, you're probably one of the few people
on the list that could ever in their lives appreciate
the fact I saw Holy Mountain play with World Burns to
Death on Saturday night here in TX, and had World
Burns to death (WB2D) crash at my apartment, even if
my (over-priced) subscription is with MRR and not P.P.
=)  har har

Cheers,

-B.

"The real source of the problem you're getting at here
- and which I agree about - is the fact that the Left
needs to better educate itself about both Islam and
Arab culture in general. This is a general American
problem that afflicts the entirety of domestic
progressive culture, including Jewish progressives.
That is how I would put it."
