Occidentalism figuratively takes the view that Original Sin came not upon mankind but exclusively on the men of the West. In the tale, the Occidentals, armed with knowledge of the devil, strode forth to corrupt an Edenic world. In the popular liberal mind, no less than the extremist Islamic one, the pre-Columbian peoples of the world, Islam, China and India included, lived in harmony with both plant and animal under a regime of universal brotherhood until the cursed day when the white man touched their shores, shattering Paradise forever. Only one other malign kindred did the Occidentals find, a race so evil in itself that had not the West come, they would have invented the pestilences of the world on their own: the Jew.
