Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions among the Converted Peoples
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Beyond Belief)
"There probably has been no imperialism like that of Islam and the Arabs. The Gauls, after five hundred years of Roman rule, could recover their old gods and reverences; those beliefs hadn't died; they lay just below the Roman surface. But Islam seeks as an article of the faith to erase the past; the believers in the end honor Arabia alone; they have nothing to return to." |
