Check out the review in City Journal of Ibn Warraq's new book, Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said’s Orientalism.

"Defending the West is a ringing call to acknowledge the West’s hard-won goods, now under assault by a fierce enemy marked by cultural pathologies of the sort that Edward Said promulgated. Warraq’s book will help politicians and policymakers explain the importance of our current fight—and the dangerous consequences of failure."
