But in another sense, he helps us see the more than rational roots of Middle Eastern conflicts by revealing the swirling magical and metaphorical belief world, a state of mind in which events are never mere events but the workings of great forces beyond our understanding, where it would be possible to simultaneously believe in the iPad and the Great Shatan himself.
