I had no clue Patricia Crone is now a despised figure among students of Middle East & Islam. In a class with 12 students, the white kids consider her too orientalist to be trusted. I, a Pakistani Muslim, was the only one defending her ‘orientalism.’ World has turned upside down.

where did they learn this "fact"? Earlier history teachers? Is this "orientalist" smear a widely held belief or you just have one or two woke outliers in your class?
