"Princeton historian Bernard Lewis, a highly respected scholar of Islam, has likened Saudi Arabia’s exportation of modern-day Wahhabism to a hypothetical situation Americans can more easily understand. "Imagine that the Ku Klux Klan gets total control of the state of Texas," Lewis told Princeton’s Alumni Weekly. "And the Ku Klux Klan has at its disposal all the oil rigs in Texas."
What an ass!
Hmmm I have more respect for Bernard Lewis than that, try reading one of his many books, like Where Islam went Wrong, it's a great synposis of why the situation is as it is today, he is very insightful, I imagine most Muslims would not like his theories
