We need to buy Samah Idris a blender because he hurt the feelings of Adonis. Here, Adonis complains about the criticisms that Samah has made in the last editorial in Al-Adab about Adonis' book on Muhammad Ibn `Abdul-Wahab. Adonis here resorts to his typical (and really lame) Dhanovian look at things (the title of his "major"--in his mind only--work, Ath-Thabit Wa-l-Mutahhawwil). It is always this versus that; thabit versus mutahawwil; revolutionaries versus salafis, etc.
