"Since the early 1990s, the English Attack [b](6.Be3 followed by f2-f3, g2-g4, Qd2 and 0-0-0 in some order) has become extremely popular and has been intensively analysed,"
From here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Defence,_Najdorf_Variation
Also Kasparov in his book I`ve recommended to you have clearly stated that English attack can`t be separated from castling queen side.
So you failed again 🙂[/b]

The post that was quoted here has been removedThen only a retard would say this:
For example today hardly anyone top GM would use 6.Bg5 and 7.f4 (played in Fischer-Spassky match) because after 7...Qb6 it has been analysed so much that its estabilished the best moves for both sides leading to draw. Here is example.

It's very interesting that Fischer played the now standard line against the English Attack at least until move 12 (and even then b5 is the second most popular choice). This kinda refutes AGAIN your amusing notion that Fischer would have no idea what to do against the English Attack.

It`s very interesting if you think that in modern opening theory finishes after 12 moves (to say nothing about assumption that the most popular is always the best) 😀

To be serious - it seems to be no consensus amongst players to call 6.Be3 with castling kingside English attack or not.
Btw. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1002419
It does not seem that here would be mentioned line with castling king side - pawn on f3 usually is placed if you want to castle queen side.
