Dear Marleen,
Your complaining about Abdu'l-Baha speaking in generalities about the
Enlightenment yet you use even more oversimplification in talking
about 19th century Arabs. If you want to argue for His being
influenced by Arab thoughts on this matter, let's take a look at what
Arabs we are talking about, the specifics of the arguments they made
and the evidence that Abdu'l-Baha was influenced by them. For
instance, we know Muhammad Ali, the father of Muslim modernism
corresponded with Abdu'l-Baha. What was his opinion of the
Enlightenment?
warmest, Susan
