The Eastern Crisis: Its Causes and Its Remedies, by Ahmed Riza , Héritage Editions

The hysterization of debates on Islam arouses more vocation than academic Islamology. The reissue of a Muslim intellectual attached to great moral and intellectual demands and favoring the search for truth and justice can help put a little reason into the ambient passions. Reading this reformer is useful for Muslim intellectuals who will have his courage and his frankness to contribute to calming people's minds at a time when Islamophobia has turned into Turcophobia , thanks to temporary political crises, and with the complacency false representatives of Islam in search of administrative baraka.

Ahmed Riza was undoubtedly the first Muslim to have mastered enough French to write directly in this language. As such, it belongs to the history of the Francophonie, and its reissue serves to complete the list of French-speaking authors who are also part of the history of Islam in France.
