Excerpt from Childhood in the Moslem World
Mohammed was, without doubt, one of the greatest religious leaders that the world has ever seen. He was a genius and a poet, a reformer and a great warrior. But Mohammed could never have said, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." His book, his life, his ideals, are not those of Him who placed a little child in the midst and gave the world of childhood an eternal inheritance of blessedness by His own Incarnation.
The present wide and increasing interest in child welfare is due to Christianity, and makes the presentation of the facts here given in regard to Moslem childhood, timely. When the whole world has become one neighbourhood, no individual or race can live to itself.
This is not a book for children, but about children. It could not be a book for them if it dealt faithfully and fearlessly with the real conditions as observed by eye-witnesses in many lands.
