I have had a series of conversations, pouring oil on the Nilean waters.. Sir Thomas Moore, M.P., was unexpectedly tractable. At my behest he has broken with the fussy Mr. Yehia in a brusque letter of dismissal almost libellous. Moore denies that he ever used the Secretary of State's name, or saw him, but he seems sincere in assuming that he had Foreign Office approval for his scheme. Apparently he has had frequent conversations with the Egyptian Ambassadors who told him inter alia that he had mentioned the matter to the Secretary of State. On that understanding (or rather misunderstanding) Moore wrote to Birkenhead for a list of peers Egyptianally- inclined and it was duly supplied. His Excellency also hinted that Sir John Wardlaw-Milne, the present chairman of the Parliamentary Anglo-Egyptian Committee, was not persona grata to the Egyptians. The old Committee was formed long ago with the object of defending British interests in Cairo and in any case it met rarely and was moribund. There is some truth in this allegation. Moore's Committee, recruited from both Houses, was to be active, more social and was to have, in view of the altered circumstances, a different but - namely the promotion of better relations between the two countries. It was convened yesterday. Sir Nairne Sandeman, M.P., disapproves of Moore and his Nazi-Hohenlohe associations and thinks Yehia "the whipping boy" of this muddle. Mr. Bossom, M.P., loyal and sensible, helped me to soothe Sir Thomas Moore and persuade him that the existence of two separate Parliamentary Committees would only defeat their/ cms PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE ins I *«.-.

Sir John Wardlaw-MiJne, who was dignified and affronted, remained aloof, but at yesterday's meeting of the new Committee a compromise was reached and Sir John ?/ardlaw-Milne who was present (he had not been originally invited to attend, but I was able to bridge that little difficulty) was asked to call a meeting of the older Committee with a view of combining with the new-born one in the hope that a happy fusion of the two elements would result in a more energetic pro-Egyptian policy. All the gentlemen, whilst not outstandingly complimentary about on§ another, were helpful and accommodating to me and realised that "Virtue alone outbuilds the Pyramids; Her monuments shall last when Egypt's fall."

For all formal use please refer to the official version on the website, as linked below. The Eclipse of Pan-Arab Nationalism https://www.e-ir.info/2015/05/26/the-eclipse-of-pan-arab-nationalism/ AHMED ELSAYED, MAY 26 2015 This paper seeks to analyse the emergence and decline of Pan-Arab nationalism, the ideology that emerged in 19th century to restore and sustain the Arabic identity under the Ottoman Caliphate and developed until it became the hegemonic ideology in Arab world by the 1950s. This article argues that Arab nationalism has been largely unsuccessful because of a variety of reasons. These reasons can be categorised into three sections: the ‘inherent’ reasons related to this ideology per se, the ‘regional’ reasons connected to Arab world and the political and social relationships within, and the ‘exogenous’ reasons that are associated with the non-Arab world. In order to develop this paper’s argument, two case studies will be introduced to critically access the record of Arab nationalism: the most influential Pan-Arab leader Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Arab League, the foremost Pan-Arab organization. For reasons of precision and clarity, this article uses the term Arabism when referring to the cultural and social similarities between Arabs. While Arab nationalism, the main idea of this essay, refers to Arabism ‘with the added element of a strong desire (and preferably articulated demands) for political unity in a specified demarcated territory’ (Dawisha, 2003: 13).

    Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality Volume 12 - Dec 2015 - No 2 - Pages: (51 : 78) King Farouk and the Wafd’s Relations with the United States After the 1952 Revolution (1952-1957) Noha Osman Azmy Associate Professor, Tourism Guidance Department, Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Sadat City University Abstract: King Farouk was deposed and forced to leave Egypt after the 1952 Revolution. Under the demand of the political purification, the Wafd party was dissolved and its leaders were imprisoned or kept under house arrest. The year 1955 marked the first contact between the Farouk and Wafd with the United States. The tense relation between US and Nasser that year gave hope for both to return to power with US support. The study depended on the US State Department documents to represent these connections and to show the American opinion with it. Unlike the previous studies, the study approved that the first contact of Farouk to the US was in 1955 not in 1956; in which he commented on the Middle East situation, the US’s role in depositing him and described the new regime in Egypt. The Wafd also tried to gain the US support to return to power through two different approaches. One was ready to deal with Nasser but with parliamentary life depending on the Wafd’s popularity; the second was to depose Nasser and replace him with Naguib with the return of the Wafd party to the political scene. The study concluded that these connections reflected the deep ideological difference between Farouk and Wafd and showed that the US’s foreign policy was determined by its interest which was not anymore with either the Wafd or Farouk.

  • For Immediate Release May 21, 2008
    For Immediate Release May 21, 2008 Internationally Known Religious Scholar and Friend of World Leaders Dies at 89 Imam Vehbi Ismail, internationally known religious scholar, author and leader of the Albanian Muslims in North America, passed away from natural causes in his Harper Woods, Michigan (USA) home on Saturday, May 17, 2008. Born in Shkoder, Albania on November 25, 1919 to Haji Ismail Alkovaj, the Grand Mufti of the Muslim faith in Albania, Imam Ismail started his studies in theology at The Islamic Seminary in Albania’s capital, Tirana. In 1937, Imam Ismail left his native Albania to study Islam at the world famous Al-Azhar University in Alexandria, Egypt, founded in 989AD. Imam Ismail received the highest honors achievable at Al-Azhar. It was at Al-Azhar that he started his prolific writing about Islam, the Prophet Muhammad and interpreting the meaning of the Quran as well as the translating of hundreds of books from Albanian, Turkish, Persian and French to Arabic. In 1945, Imam Ismail was advised by his father not to return to Albania, as the Communists had taken control of all mosques and abolished religion of any kind throughout the country. The new Communist regime of Albania seized all holdings of religious groups, including the holdings of the Grand Mufti and his family. Imam Ismail’s family then spent the last years of their lives in concentration camps, never to see Imam Ismail again. During his stay in Egypt, Imam Ismail established himself as an expert on the Quran and Islam. He became a close personal friend of then King Farouk of Egypt.

  • Personal Report on Riots in Cairo, 26 Jan 1952, by Harold Hindle James
    Personal Report on Riots in Cairo, 26 Jan 1952, by Harold Hindle James Transcribed and Annotated by John Barnard, May 2009 Introduction and Background This document is a personal account of the riots which took place in Cairo on 26 January 1952, an occasion subsequently described as the “Cairo Fires”, during which several members of the British Turf Club were murdered. It seems probable the the report, with its appendices, was written for the British Embassy in Cairo. The author is Harold Hindle James, OBE (1895–1969), at the time a retired RAF officer resident in Cairo. The transcript is based on a typewritten copy, which was probably sent to James's aunt, Ethel de Pearsall James (1879–1960), from whom it passed to her son Robert Clabburn Trevenen James (1917 – 2008), and from him to the transcriber, his nephew. The riots were a prelude to the Egyptian Revolution of 23 July 1952, when King Farouk was overthrown by a military coup carried out by the so-called "Free Officers" led by General Muhammad Naguib (though the real power behind it was Gamal Abdel Nasser, who became President in 1954). Transcript COPY CONFIDENTIAL PERSONAL STATEMENT BY SQUADRON-LEADER HINDLE-JAMES Early on the morning of January 26th 1952 servants arriving at my flat, which is at 18 Adly Pasha Street, and close to the Turf Club, brought stories or some kind of disturbances in the Muski area. They asserted that there had been firing, though they were not clear as to who was firing upon whom. In view or this and my own expectations of probable disorders I decided as soon as possible to proceed to the Embassy.

  • Lecture Dedication
    Lecture Dedication To the memory of my father, Manoutchehr Mirza Eskandari (Kadjar) (1919-1983), aristocrat and romantic extraordinaire; and to my wife, Fariba, and children, Amir-Hamsa and Yasmin. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When writing anything that requires more than what one carries in one's head, one relies heavily upon, and inevitably imposes a great deal on, people for whom one does little in return. It is therefore appropriate and proper to thank them profusely for their generosity and good will, in the hope that this small gesture would make up for all the trouble they put themselves through to get one to this point. I say "hope," knowing full well that their kindness cannot be repaid fully, not even in multiple pages of thank yous. As no man is an island and no one really is self-made, gratitude is, first and foremost, due to all those who, over the years with their tireless efforts, have made it possible for this speaker to be able to say and do the things he has said and done. Thus thanks is first due to my parents and, second, to all my teachers-too many to name them all-and to all those I have learned from. They all taught me how to walk, intellectually, and I hope that the result is not disappointing to them! Next, I wish to thank my wife, Fariba. She is and has been my guiding light, keeping me on a steady course and an even keel, despite myself. Without her, none of this would be possible. For the innumerable little and big things she does daily, and will keep on doing because of who she is, my boundless gratitude is owed as a minuscule repayment for a debt that cannot ever be paid; not even in part.

  • “Nazi Germany and the Arab and Muslim World: Old and New Scholarship”
    “Nazi Germany and the Arab and Muslim World: Old and New Scholarship” Jeffrey Herf Professor Department of History University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 Email: [email protected] Draft, not for quotation without permission. To be presented on June 6, 2008 at the Historical Society’s 2008 Conference on “Migration, Diaspora, Ethnicity, & Nationalism in History,” Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, Charles Commons Conference Center, “L” Level, 10 East 33rd Street, Baltimore, MD 21218, June 5-7, 2008 The Nazi regime’s efforts to gain adherents in the Arab and Muslim Middle East were brief but intense. My paper today is about those efforts. It is part of a sequel to The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda During World War II and the Holocaust, my study that examined the core themes of the radical anti-Semitism produced by the Nazi regime. In working on that book and also observing, among radical Islamists, the peculiar re-emergence of radical anti-Semitic ideas whose origins lay in Europe, I decided to extend the comparative historical enterprise beyond its Eurocentric limit and to explore the similarities and differences between the Nazi regime’s radical anti-Semitism and that of the radical Islamism that emerged first in the 1930s and 1940s and which has subsequently came to play such an important role in recent history.1 In the immediate aftermath of World War II, in part stimulated by interest in the prominent role played by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini, the Nazi regime’s efforts to spread its ideology to the Arab and Muslim world was the subject of interest at the successor war crimes trials in Nuremberg and in several books.2 It attracted relatively little interest in the subsequent decades.

    Mohamed Ali Eltaher - Biography www.eltaher.org Why This Website? While history influences the lives of individuals, individuals also influence history. If it used to be said during the lifetime of this man that “The sun never sets on two things: The British Empire, and the newspaper published by Mohamed Ali Eltaher”; there is a good reason to stop and note. This website tells the story of Mohamed Ali Eltaher (also known by his traditional Arab nickname, Aboul-Hassan). It is also the story of his wife. It provides the sources and references needed for those who are interested to learn more about him, and, more importantly, to learn about the history of the Near East and North Africa between 1912 and 1974, and the political and historical issues of the countries spanning from Morocco to Iraq, and Eltaher at the entrance to "Dar Ashoura" from Syria to Indonesia. Those who know Egypt through the writings of in Cairo - 1954 Lawrence Durrell and Konstantin Kavafi and other famous Western writers, will be able to have a glimpse of that side of Egypt these talented writers did not write about. The website offers first-hand original material, written in the context, spirit and style of its time. Some material is either unpublished or out of print. It was compiled by individuals who have known or lived many of the stories told, or issues discussed, and by others who have known of, or met many of the persons appearing in the photographs featured in the website.
