Septembre 1990 dans The Atlantic. To the horse again. Voir le parcours entre « The Return of Islam » de 1976 et ce mois de septembre alors que la guerre du Golfe a commencé le 2 août.1976, on en était à la guerre du Liban, Chypre.&#160;Well ! Two pages into it and the value of the meanwhile development is crystal clear. The aggregation of authority that must have been produced, in 25 years of « expertise » in between, in the Covering-Islam machine - remarkable. What passes now. The rhetorics now. The pliancy of discursive manœuvre. This is Said’s B Lewis indeed. (Is he discussed in the original version of Orientalism, as early as 1978 therefore ? Or only in the Afterword &#38; prefaces of the subsequent edition/s?Certainly this B Lewis is the inspiration for Huntington’s Clash : noteworthy to identify the process of generation. « Clash » emerges as a quality for, of, Islam, Iranian-typical (describer of the object of comment rather than comment by the descriptor), and orientalized: target set in originism, « ancient Iran » and Manichaeism rather even than Islam « per se ». The Clash of « God and the Adversary ». Easily made into a journalistic, ideological fable. Along with the similar confusion of the House of Islam / House of War or Unbelief duality, equally ready for the clash trope.Renan has this trick too: Islam as not original. Faulty, an-original formation. None of the true creative seed that Aryan Christinanity generated from the barren stock of Judaism. Cf « Mahomet et les origines de l’islamisme », de 1851.The best trick of course in this paper being the notion of Islam’s issue with « us ». « Muslim Rage ». « a surge of hatred that distresses, alarms, and above all baffles Americans. » 48. Les miroirs rhétoriques de l’agresseur. This still very much with me from for second Gulf War or rather 9/11: « But why do they hate us? »
