[OT] A Sage in Christendom -- A personal tribute to Bernard Lewis.
It's a long article about Bernard Lewis, a Historian and Orientalist
with great understanding of Islam. The most striking quote is this:
'The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which once translated one of Mr.
Lewis's books into Arabic, said that his book was "the work of a candid
friend or an honest enemy." '
