الصفحة 172 - ... to the God of Abraham' and revered the 'Holy Land of the Jews', that 'land which is Arabia's half-sister'. If Semitic thought is so strong in the West, how is it, he asked that we think we can overcome Islam, 'the quintessence of Arabian thought', in lands where it has flourished for centuries? 'Christendom has pretty well abandoned her hopeless task of converting Islam, as Islam has abandoned hers of conquering Europe; and it is surely time that moral sympathy should unite the two great bodies...
الصفحة 144 - The same you have ever exercised, Divine Truth. Send forth a great thought, as you have done before, from Mount Sinai, from the villages of Galilee, from the deserts of Arabia, and you may again remodel all their institutions, change their principles of action, and breathe a new spirit into the whole scope of their existence.
الصفحة 26 - ... would, I am convinced, show an immense Mohammedan progress within the last hundred years among the negro races, nor is this to be wondered at. Islam has so much to offer to the children of Ham that it cannot fail to win them — so much more than any form of Christianity or European progress can give. The Christian missionary makes his way slowly in Africa. He has no true brotherhood to offer the negro except in another life. He makes no appeal to a present sense of dignity in the man he would...
الصفحة 12 - Name, especially in the formula of the confession of faith: There is no God but God and Mohammed is the Prophet of God.
الصفحة 58 - But when, by reason of excessive liberty, we sunk into negligence and sloth, one envying and reviling another in different ways, and we were almost, as it were, on the point of taking up arms against each other, and were assailing each other with words as with darts and spears, prelates inveighing against prelates, and people rising up against people, and hypocrisy and dissimulation had arisen to the greatest height of malignity, then the divine judgment, which usually proceeds with a lenient hand,...
الصفحة 161 - He explained in this book that 'the great difficulty which, as things now stand, besets reform is this: the Sheriat, or written code of law, still stands in orthodox Islam as an unimpeachable authority'. Though 'an excellent law', it was not entirely satisfactory on certain points; but he was reasonably certain that a 'wider and more liberal reading of the law', would result if Arabian thought once more became supreme in Islam, and that it was even possible, should that happen, that Islam and Christianity...
الصفحة 26 - In becoming a Mussulman even a slave acquires immediate dignity and the right to despise all men, whatever their colour, who are not as himself. This is a bribe in the hand of the preacher of the Koran, and one which has never appealed in vain to the enslaved races of the world.
الصفحة 26 - He has no true brotherhood to offer the negro except iu another life. He makes no appeal to a present sense of dignity in the man he would convert. What Christian missionary takes a negress to wife, or sits with the negro wholly as an equal at meat ? Their relations remain at best those of teacher with taught, master with servant, grown man with child. The Mohammedan missionary from Morocco meanwhile stands on a different footing. He says to the negro : " Come up and sit beside me. Give me your daughter...
الصفحة 46 - Just as the Lutheran Reformation in Europe, although it failed to convert the Christian Church, caused its real reform, so "Wahabiism has produced a real desire for reform, if not reform itself, in Mussulmans. Islam is no longer asleep, and were another and a wiser Abd ul Wahab to appear, not as a heretic, but in the body of the orthodox sect, he might play the part of Loyola or Borromeo with success...
الصفحة 191 - Buddhism it, and not Christianity, will be the form under which God will eventually be worshipped in the Tropics.
