he used the word Asabiyyah

Some Zionists and other Western writers (are there Western writers who are not Zionists? rarely) compensate for their lack of knowledge and training in Middle East studies by throwing the word `Asabiyyah.  But this guy even tries harder:  "Shia and Sunnis in northern Lebanon cross the border into Syria and kill each other..." Shi`its in North Lebanon?  Crossing into Syria?  (thanks Michele)
