Nir responds to Karsh: (Or why Nir does not work for the New York Times or the WP)

"Hizballah threatens a bloody revenge if Israel attacks Lebanon, but that's it. And he is also lying when he says that Muslim states believe in some kind of holy war to prevent the loss of a part of the house of Islam. Which Muslim state? Nobody talks like this or says these things. Most Muslim states either collaborate with Israel or just don't care (like Iraq today). Karsh is a third rate academic who clearly has not visited much of the "Muslim World" about which he writes with generalizations, clichés, racism, Orientalism and a right wing pro Israeli agenda. He falsely claims that Arabs consider themselves superior to all other Muslims. And he falsely claims that Hijazis regard themselves as the only true Arabs. This is just not true. There is always the occasional chauvenist but he wouldn't be typical of the views of most "Arabs" or Hijazis." (thanks Nir)
