The Western world is showing increasing interest in Moslems. The great movement which has developed so marvellously in Eastern Asia affects Moslem peoples as well. Recent political upheavals in the Near East resulted in the proclamation of Constitutional governments in Turkey and Persia. In one year three autocratic Moslem rulers were dethroned. A spirit of Nationalism is growing. Events have followed in quick succession, leading up to the participation of Turkey in the World War. Her call has gone forth to all Islamic peoples to engage in a Holy War of deliverance. The Ottoman Empire occupies a unique position in the great contest of arms. Study of Islam as a religion has made great progress in recent times; critical examination of its history and traditions by eminent scholars has thrown much new light upon it. Its present remarkable ad- vance in Africa and Indonesia and the entrance into it of modernist influences from Western civilization have engaged the attention of all students of religion.
