“The ordinary man believes that Islam is succumbing to modernity. Yet—I don’t know. I do not quite believe in Islam becoming a back number. It looks as if Islam had a bigger hand in the thing than we thought…Islam is a fighting creed, and the mullah still stands in the pulpit with the Koran in one hand and a drawn sword in the other.”
"There’s a great stirring in Islam, something moving on the face of the waters… . Those religious revivals come in cycles, and one was due about now. And they are quite clear about the details. A seer has arisen of the blood of the Prophet, who will restore the Khalifate to its old glories and Islam to its old purity."
