Ferment in the Arabic World

Valyi, Felix | July 16, 1930 issue

The Arab-Jewish difficulties in Palestine brought out again the sentiment of hostility toward Islam as a menace to the West which has dominated the occidental mind for centuries. In spite of all the changes which have affected human thought since the Middle Ages, in spite of the modern doctrine of universal tolerance in religious matters, none of the nations by which Islam is confronted in her effort to survive have really changed their mind toward her. The unrest caused by the latest events in Palestine among the Mohammedans of the world is due to their feeling that the Arabs as a nation have been refused that "equality of treatment" which the whole East claims as the basic principle of peace.
