Findlay Dunachie examines two of Bernard Lewis’s books and synthesizes their arguments in a short essay entitled Bernard Lewis on what went wrong in the Middle East | Samizdata.net. I have Bernard’s The Crisis of Islam and find Findlay’s summary to be spot-on.
Do yourself a favor. Read Findlay’s essay and then read Bernard’s works as well. Those who are Islamic apologists will not like Bernard, but he has valid criticism of the Islamic world.
This site looks interesting now i will stop translating so that I can better see it.
