Sword reveals Infidel's secret

Submitted by Infidel (Canada), Jan 30, 2007 at 21:32

The Sword has found me out and with no sympathy, revealed my bad habits to Dr. Pipes' public. It seems that the Sword has determined that while I make references to various books I read, he with unparallel wisdom, has concluded that I don't read the books, rather I count the pages. Wow, that is indeed interesting. My foolishness is obvious, I spend hundreds of dollars on books, and I just count the pages.

Last year I purchased the following books:
From Time Immemorial, Joan Peters
The Middle East, Bernard Lewis
History of Israel, Howard M. Sachar
Myth of Islamic Tolerance, Robert Spencer
Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, Robert Spencer
Battle For The Last Days Temple, Randall Price
Infiltration, Paul Sperry
Inside The Palestinian Authority, Arlene Kushner
Battle For Jerusalem, John Hagee
Sword Of The Prophet, Serge Trifkovic
The Glorious Qur'an, Translated by Dr. Ahamed
The Qur'an, Text Translation by Abkullah Yusuf Ali

On my to read list:
Legacy of Jihad, Andrew G. Bostom
Prophet Of Doom, Graig Winn

Thanks to the Sword, I think that I should see a psychologist; really, what fool would spend hundreds of dollars on books, count the pages and then pretend he read them? Why waste this time and money, after all the Sword has proven that all you need is to read a few pages of wikipedia and you know it all.
