Zionists who are quite powerful in the west including the universities of course hate Edward Said (A Christian Palestinian-American), and they like to paint his work as nonsense, Bernerd Lewis is a Zionist neo-conservertive. Zionist neo-conservertives working for George Bush the son of course want to make the orient look like it is bad and it needs 'invasions' by the west to fix it. Plenty of evidence exists to prove that without these Zionist neo-cons no invasion of Iraq would have taken place, and some suggestion that Afghanistan was set up by them as well. If the East is depicted in the western imagination as barbaric, it is easy to justify invasions to give them the light of democracy and humanism as 'gifts' from the occident.

This perhaps is your own remark - you did not delineate it.

Ziauddin Sardar calls Bernard Lewis senior statesman of Zionist historiography and there is no reason for us not to expose him in all his ugly glory. Clash of Civilization is his phrase. In another post I intend to argue that Samuel Huntington's understanding in the matters that made him famous, orientalism, was rather superfluous. Someone might argue that it was shameless continuation of orientalism but the truth lies elsewhere - his inability to grasp what we have been saying all along - including Edward Said's tour de force.
