The Muslim Mind                                                 Page 56 = 69

They believe that their religion is the only true religion and it is their duty to wage war upon the unnatural condition of the non-believers i.e. the Christians, Jews, and pagans beyond their boarders to reduce as far as possible their influence in the world, and dominate the Christians and Jews within their boarders under there protection.

There attitude is therefore one of superiority.

They believe that when they rule over the infidel (christiansm jews etc.) that   heavenly order will be achieve on earth.

Behold a king yesterday absorbed in pleasure,

Judge then his kingdom with woe and war,

See now the sun in the scales of Libra dropping,

Out of his fortune’s delightful tower.              (Brett. P69)

The Arab Mind

p73

Their writing “”their shapes was an insight to the eternal. No forms could excel the pattern of the letters”

People who spoke Arabic as there first language were blessed.  “no sound more beautiful “

P84

“the poet was a mirror of the society, his verse the final form of a way of life modeled upon its images.  Stylization went very deep in a civilization which had no drama, but acted out its sense of the theatrical in its manner of living.”
