Alas, poor Bernard Lewis, a fellow of infinite jest by Hamid Dabashi, Hagop Kevorkian Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature at Columbia University | Al Jazeera
Lewis was no scholar objectively committed to
historical truth. Quite the contrary: He has left behind not a single
book in which he was not cherry-picking facts and figures to demonise
Muslims, dismiss and denigrate their civilisation, and subjugate them
normatively, morally, and imaginatively to the colonial domination of
those who he served.
No one was more instrumental in manufacturing the illusion of a fundamental and irreconcilable difference between “Islam and the West” than Lewis – his singular achievement that later Samuel Huntington picked up to produce The Clash of Civilizations.
This needs no further evidence and proof than looking at who is praising him after his death. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Dick Cheney, the former vice president]

Commerce Abuse | William J. Watkins, Jr. | The Independent Institute
Commerce Abuse | William J. Watkins, Jr.:
In 1942, the Court considered the constitutionality ofPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Agricultural Adjustment Act. In Wickard v. Filburn, the Court was presented with the question of whether Congress could regulate a farmer’s growing of wheat intended solely for consumption on his farm. A local activity, lectured the Court, can “be reached by Congress if it exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce.” Although the 11.9 acres of wheat in question did not seem to affect interstate commerce, the Court reasoned that the farmer’s wheat, “taken together with that of many others similarly situated, is far from trivial.” Because the growing of wheat for home consumption by hundreds or thousands of farmers could affect the demand and price of wheat, the acts of a solitary bucolic soul fall under Congress’ power to regulate commerce.
