About this book
Pan-Islam is by G. Wyman Bury, who is named as author of The Land of Us and Arabia Infelix. The preface says the author wrote the book to present the main factors of a many-sided problem in a form which the general public can easily grasp. The preface adds that the book is not intended to advise those who actually handle these affairs.
The text says the Ottoman Turks are not Semitic, as is the bulk of the Moslem world. The text says we hear of Turks smelting iron for their Mongol masters in what is now Eastern Turkestan until they threw off the Mongol yoke in A.D. 552, when Turkish history begins. The author says he once overheard a young effendi explaining to his confrères in a Cairo café. The text says, in a comparison that names the average Occidental, that both use intelligently such machinery as they find necessary in their pursuits and occupations.
