About this book
Mohammedanism: Lectures on Its Origin, Its Religious and Political Growth, and Its Present State is by C. Snouck Hurgronje. The opening lines name the American Lectures on the History of Religions, series of 1914-1915. The text says it was religion, Islâm, which in a certain sense united the hitherto hopelessly divided Arabs.
A passage about Europe says that everything maintained or invented to the disadvantage of Islâm was greedily absorbed by Europe. The text says attention must be drawn to protests raised by certain minorities against some of the ideas and practices which had been definitely adopted by the majority. The text speaks of "protestant" elements that lived and moved more or less freely in the midst of Mohammedan Catholicism.
