In the last Cairo book fair there was book called "Saddam Hussein's life : From Birth to Martyrdom. The book's author as written in golden letter on the top right corner is Robert Fisk . The only is that Robert Fisk did not actually write a single letter in this biography !!! "Thanks for dear Mr.Azizi"
Read the newest cultural and publishing scandal in Egypt ,as if we need it.
The man has all the right to angry from Egypt and Cairo , already it was enough when he became the villain in the silly of play of Heikel and Mustafa Bakery , when the later pretended that Fisk published a fabricated interview with Heikel about Mubarak and Son in order to create a crisis between Heikel and Presidency and that Bakery was the Peace Pageant between Mubarak and Heikel !! I forget to tell you that during that week it was Bakery who invited Fisk to visit Cairo as far as I know and in the office of Bakery Fisk had interviewed Heikel ,I guess I have talked about this before .
Blast from the Past :
No wonder the man likes Beirut and lives in it .
To Dear Mr. Robert Fisk ,I do not know if you will ever have the time to read this , please accept my apology on behalf the respectable honest people in Egypt for this crime.
It is not only forgery but it is a crime when Mr.Fisk is said to be the biographer of Saddam ,the war criminal.
Please Mr. Fisk accept my apology , my dear sir it is the time of the street wise men in Egypt so no wonder you will find crocks like this .
The best thing that I bet the Egyptian Saddam loving parties published in their weekly newspapers about this book in the last three weeks as it is Robert Fisk's book about the life of the great Saddam , now it turned to be a hoax, not original Fisk just like Saddam was not a real hero or great
That oriental trobadour, Robert Fisk can't even speak Arabic. So how on earth some one with a minimum of sanity laid inside their skull, should exepct him to be the ultimate- as opposed to a Middle East affairs journalist- authority on Arab affairs.
ReplyDeleteThat is orientalism, which Edward Said has brilliantly elaborated on his master pieces on Arab civilisation, resurging its ugly head.
Fisk along with the socilist libertine Noam Chomosky have provided moral qualification to the occupation of Iraq by depicting the Iranian death squads and the Persianisation of Iraq as anti state anti-power anti-nationalist communist people's revolution, just for the sake of some utopian theoretical lagoons!
They are counting on an Arab mind- set infested by western orientalist archetypes!
@anonymous , I do not consider Robert Fisk as Orientalist with my all respect I read for this man ,he is not just an journalist , I do not know what do you want for him to be , a hypocrite for the Arab rulers so you can respect him
ReplyDeleteplease read for him first in his columns in independent then talk as you want
