Said's book is one of the worse pieces of crap I have ever read on any
topic. But even if it weren't, I can't imagine what possible relevance
his interminable self-righteous rant would have to people in Buddhist
studies or to studied Buddhists. Can you offer a hint as to what a naive
pink-skinned left-wing hippie pacifist Buddhist convert has to learn
from a raving bellicose polemicist like Edward Said?
