Jonah Goldberg writes:

"Bernard Lewis, perhaps the greatest living English-language historian
of the Middle East, wrote a brilliant essay eleven years ago in
the Atlantic entitled "The Roots of Muslim Rage." It is the best short
piece I've found on this subject to date, and I think anyone interested
in this topic should read it. 

Lewis (also) shows that while Israel is obviously unpopular in the Arab
world, it may not be for the reasons so many knee-jerk Israel foes
believe....."

An important set of articles giving a valuable brief synopsis of
East/West history and cultural conflict. Well worth reading.
