"Even the most old-fashioned orientalist would think twice before hazarding claims like this one (which is repeated several times, for emphasis): “Today, Arab society runs on … parallel tracks. One hidden and permissive, the other ostentatiously religious. It could be argued that the Arab personality is equally two-faced, being founded on lies and hypocrisy.” As analysis, this does not rise very much above the vague spiritualism of his thoughts on youth and old age, but it is considerably less benign."
