I reviewed this book by Ajami when I was still a graduate student. Notice that Zionist fanatics still regularly quote that review. But I don't understand: I have written more negative things about him since. And notice the language used: so even words are equated with "physical assault." I mean, I know that Zionist fanatics are very protective of one of their own, but don't they need to update their propaganda files? "In a review of his book
The Vanished Imam, Asad Abu Khalil
verbally assaulted Ajami, calling him a "neo-orientalist," an insult in Middle East studies
circles."
