Islam And Democracy: Fear Of The Modern World - Plot & Excerpts
Here I am indebted to cAbd al-Fattah Kilitu, who was the first to analyze systematically the link between the West and strangeness; see his Al-adab wa al-gharaba (Literature and Strangeness) (Beirut: Dar al-Talica, 1982). 2. The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, trans. Richard F. Burton (N.p.: Privately printed by the Burton Club, n.d.), vol. 4, pp. 130-31. 3. Ibid., pp. 131-32. 4. I must clarify why it is that I often use the words “Arab” and “Islam” interchangeably, and why from here on I focus on Arabs and the Arabic language. It is certainly not because the other cultures that contributed to this extraordinary mosaic that is Islam are minor. I am in a poor position to discuss Pan- Arabism because, like the majority of Moroccans, I am ethnically rather Berber. This small detail posed a problem at the time of the formation of the Arab League. If it is Arab, what are Berbers and Sudanese doing in it? The Moroccan leader Allal al-Fasi explains in the last pages of his book Al-haraka al- istiqlaliyya ji al-maghrib al-arabi (The Independence Movements in the Arab Maghrib) (Cairo: Matabacat al-Risala, 1948) that one of the clauses of the league’s charter stipulates that the countries of the Maghrib are an integral part of the Arab world, which is above all else a culture.
