Though, yeah, for a time (and maybe still) he was the Gospel. <BR/><BR/>But are you critiquing Rashid or Wilson? I didn't take Wilson (what I block quoted) as solely critquing the Commies (indigenous or not), but also including the Saudis, Pakistanis, American's, et al, in the "neo-imperialist ideological murder." And in the Wilson piece, which is long so my quote is missing a lot of context, he does discuss a decent amount of the long long history of the region. <BR/><BR/>What I took the quote speaking to was what led the population to acquiesce to a brand of Islam and culture that wasn't native. And with Rashid's article on the contemporary situation, it seems like that largely external strand of Islam (as I understand it to be external too) is becoming internalized by larger parts of the population, not just acquiesed to.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's gone beyond simply neo-imperialism (east or west rooted) imposition. But maybe, as I'm taking what you are to be saying, it was there long before, and Wilson is completely off base, having only seen the region during another peculiar bubble of time.quasimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045568121156864937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18764915.post-1151509885773971952006-06-28T20:21:00.000+04:302006-06-28T20:21:00.000+04:30No, no ark.
