Here (a month after the fact) is an essay by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.
The piece appeared in November, and is called “America vs. The Narrative.”
“The Narrative,” Friedman writes, “is the cocktail of half-truths, propaganda and outright lies about America that have taken hold in the Arab-Muslim world since 9/11.”
