tangentially relevant to other arenas, no? Yes indeed! I especially like this part:
The writer [whom the author is criticizing] goes into endless tirades against "The Other", who is pictured, quite simply, as the devil, and in true tribal fashion, persists in seeing this Other as a vile enemy intent upon 'destroying' us and who must therefore be fought with words - and with the sword. This kind of 'reasoning' is typical of the desert culture, characterized as it is by tribal values, isolation, and danger lurking behind every dune.

It's not the inability of the Arab mind to reason, but rather of the Islamist mind. There's a difference!!
