Critical Reflection on Post-Colonial theories

Post-Colonial Theorists are more enlightening than the Western critical theories. This is a personal opinion that can be regarded as an Asian perspective. The ideas of Post-Colonial theory are more related to the Filipinos like us. I mostly agree with what Post-Colonialists say, but when I reflect on the people that think about these ideas I realized that they also came from the very races that have racists’ attitude. For an example, Edward Said is known to be a Palestianian-American. Edward Said was very much concerned about the image that the Americans and the West conjure about it. I guess Edward Said should have also considered what image the Middle East projects, especially the Islamic fanatics. Speaking about Middle East, one should be immersed in the history, the unnecessary wars and atrocities in the region. Yes, the West did its part of savagery, but Arabs did too. It is my belief that Arabs are not barbaric but some Arabs exude over religious zealousness that they become the source of cultural oppression. For instance, Jewish ancestral cemeteries are desecrated. Tombs of significant religious patriarchs of the Jews are being taken over by the Arabs. Various sites that are spread all over the territory of Israel, West Bank, and believe it or not Iran are being demolished or taken over and stripped of Jewish significance. Basically, what they are doing is an attempt to root out the trace Jewish presence to evict them from the region and from its territory. UNESCO, now dominated by the Arabs and Islamic member countries, has become the instrument of the Arabs and Islamic countries to attempt eradicating the significant markers and traces of the Jewish history in the region. I wonder what would be Edward Said’s reaction on these developments in the Middle East. The main point being thrust here is that Orientals like the Middles Eastern countries though oppressed are also oppressors in one way or another.
