Through the Eyes of the Beholder
The collection examines the view of holiness in the “Holy Land” through the writings of pilgrims, travelers, and missionaries. The period extends from 1517, the Ottoman conquest of Syria and Palestine, to the Franco-British treaty of Utrecht in 1713 and the consolidation of European hegemony over the Mediterranean.

The Maliki Imperialism of Ahmad al-Mansur
On February 28, 1591, a Moroccan army reached Niger across the Sahara, 135 days after leaving the capital Marrakesh. The musket-wielding combatants who survived the ordeal had been sent by the Moroccan ruler, Ahmad al-Mansur, to defeat the king of Songhay, Askiah Ishaq II, who had assembled an army of 80,000 footmen and horsemen, armed with lances and javelins (al-Gharbi, 207–08). The battle took place on March 13, 1591 and ended with the slaught…

Homosexuality in the Early Novels of Nageeb Mahfouz
Nageeb Mahfouz is the earliest novelist in Arabic to focus on the homosexual protagonist in his writing. Although the topic is objectionable in Islam, Mahfouz explores homosexuality in a sensitive manner, and reveals the transformation in his views regarding the dilemma of the homosexual protagonist in a hostile environment
John Locke and the Jews
In 1813, a century after the death of John Locke, an anonymous pamphleteer in London, writing under the pseudonym of ‘Abraham, saac and Jacob’, complained about the restrictions which were placed on the Jews. In The Lamentations of the Children of Israel representing the Hardships they suffer from the Penal Laws , the author recalled John Locke as a defender of the Jews, and quoted one of the philosopher's favourable comparisons between Jews and …
Protestantism, Palestine, and Partisan Scholarship
Protestantism, Palestine, and Partisan Scholarship
A partisan scholarship has developed since the early twentieth century to demonstrate that British Protestant culture supports the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. Both before and after the Balfour Declaration of 1917, scholars pointed to the extensive references in British thought from the Reformation through the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries which purported to deal with a Jewish Restauration to Palestine. After the c…
