THE MOSLEM WORLD OF TO-DAY [Hardcover]

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The Moslem world of to-day is markedly different from that of yesterday. The social and religious system of Islam, for centuries the most rigid exclusive, resistant, and as some would say the most intolerant of all, has during the first quarter of the present century and notably during the last decade, been undergoing stupendous and well-nigh unbelievable changes. Almost every Moslem land-in Africa, in Western central. and Southern Asia and in the East Indies- is ablaze with new national and social aspirations and ambitions. Throughout these vast regions the traveller in these days is vividly conscious of the thrill of a new life. The effect of this startling development has been like dropping from its place the keystone of an arch for true it is that the caliphate has been the binding centre of the extensive and imposing arch of Pan-Islamism. This weakening of the sence of solidarity and moral unity of Moslem peoples will be felt increasingly. Author the Author:- John Raleigh Mott (May 25, 1865 January 31, 1955) was an evangelist and long-serving leader of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF).
