Abstract
The Orientalism is probably more than an intellectual overhaul to the legacy of the European colonialism in the Middle East. It is according to one of its most ferocious opponents (the Palestinian intellectual Edward Said), a way of coming to terms with the Orient' that is based on the Orient's special place in European experience, the place of Europe's greatest and richest colonies. A site that helped to define Europe (or the West) as the East contrasting image, idea, personality and experience‟ [Said 1978:1-2]. My commentary aims to look inside Edward Said's theory and see how it passed the test of time and the consolidation of American hegemonism and Islamic political radicalism.
