Hope & Ed Said

[calbert at hslboxmaster.com]

‘Edward Said recently admonished Arabs for failing to 
denounce suicide missions and hiding instead behind the excuse 
of their own suffering: how many of us (he asked) have taken 
responsibility for the poverty, ignorance, illiteracy and repression 
in our own societies, and the 
political manipulation of Islam, while complaining about Zionism 
and imperialism.’

cannot?
