The New World of Islam Part 5

[30] On the caliphate, see Sir W. Muir, _The Caliphate: Its Rise, Decline, and Fall_ (Edinburgh, 1915); Sir Mark Sykes, _The Caliph's Last Heritage_ (London, 1915); XX, "L'Islam apres la Guerre," _Revue de Paris_, 15 January, 1916; "The Indian Khilafat Delegation," _Foreign Affairs_, July, 1920 (Special Supplement).

[31] Literally, "he who is guided aright."

[32] "Seyid" means "Lord." This t.i.tle is borne only by descendants of the Prophet.

[33] The explorer Dr. Nachtigal.

[34] On the Islamic fraternities in general and the Sennussiya in particular see W. S. Blunt, _The Future of Islam_ (London, 1882); O.

Depont and X. Coppolani, _Les Confreries religieuses musulmanes_ (Paris, 1897); H. Duveyrier, _La Confrerie musulmane de Sidi Mohammed ben Ali es Senoussi_ (Paris, 1884); A. Le Chatelier, _Les Confreries musulmanes du Hedjaz_ (Paris, 1887); L. Pet.i.t, _Confreries musulmanes_ (Paris, 1899); L. Rinn, _Marabouts et Khouan_ (Algiers, 1884); A. Servier, _Le Nationalisme musulman_ (Constantine, Algeria, 1913); Simian, _Les Confreries islamiques en Algerie_ (Algiers, 1910); Achmed Abdullah (himself a Sennussi), "The Sennussiyehs," _The Forum_, May, 1914; A. R.

Colquhoun, "Pan-Islam," _North American Review_, June, 1906; T. R.

Threlfall, "Senussi and His Threatened Holy War," _Nineteenth Century_, March, 1900; Captain H. A. Wilson, "The Moslem Menace," _Nineteenth Century and After_, September, 1907; ... "La Puissance de l'Islam: Ses Confreries Religieuses," _Le Correspondant_, 25 November and 10 December, 1909. The above judgments, particularly regarding the Sennussiya, vary greatly, some being highly alarmist, others minimizing its importance. A full balancing of the entire subject is that of Commandant Binger, "Le Peril de l'Islam," _Bulletin du Comite de l'Afrique francaise_, 1902. Personal interviews of educated Moslems with El Sennussi are Si Mohammed el Hechaish, "Chez les Senoussia et les Touareg," _L'Expansion Coloniale francaise_, 1900; Muhammad ibn Utman, _Voyage au Pays des Senoussia a travers la Tripolitaine_ (translated from the Arabic), Paris, 1903.
