To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Orthodox Islam prohibits the exercise of reason in the discussion of the tenets of their own religion. Everything is established upon the authority of the pil- lars of the faith. Reason is bound and gagged. But strangely inconsistent with this doctrine has been the practice of Moslem writers, when dealing with the doc- trines of the Bible. Here reason is let loose and allowed to run unchecked and unguided by bit or bridle. Rea- son is not only used but abused by being practically made the supre...me judge in all matters of faith. This was, as we have already seen, the frank avowal of Sayyad Ali Hassan. Sayyad Ahmad Khan accepted the postu- late and boldly applied it to the Quran and the Tradi- tions as well as to the Bible. Orthodox Islam was horrified and a thousand maulvies pronounced him an infidel and his teaching the beguilement of Satan. As a matter of fact Sir Sayyad Ahmad Khan stands as the great champion of Islam, because he bolstered up the waning faith of a multitude of educated Mohammedans, who could not have long continued loyal to the absurdi- ties of old-fashioned dogma.
