"Arab-Islamic culture is strictly authoritarian," he claims. Saying so is like calling all Israelis and Americans warmongers. Views of ordinary people in all societies often differ vastly from ruling authorities. Perhaps Eidelberg forgot.

Imagine what Eidelberg teaches students. Imagine what they learn in his classes. Try imagining why anyone would choose them. Truth is turned on its head.
