		Abdulhamid’s attempt to marry Islam and modernity was cut short by the Young Turks in 1909.
		Abdulhamid never waged a jihad; the Young Turks, on the advice of their new allies, the Germans, launched a global jihad in 1915 against Britain and its allies.
		Abdulhamid’s relationship with the United States as a Caliph further demolishes the notion that contemporary Islamist terrorists are on the path of the Caliphate.

		Abdulhamid studied at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point in the early 1990s, and wondered why "so few of the books that are considered cornerstones of the European enlightenment" remain unavailable in Arabic.
		Abdulhamid blames "low literacy rates and repressive censorship laws" for keeping "the number of foreign books that find their way into Arabic translation very low." Moroever, there is no "accumulated tradition of Arab scholarship" that is directed outside the Arab world or experience.
		Abdulhamid argues that this is a major obstacle to the creation in places like Iraq of a Middle Eastern "beacon of freedom": "You're talking about democracy and modernity and bringing all these good things to the Arab world.

		But Abdulhamid also asked Americans to appreciate the speed with which traditional Muslims are being forced to confront change.

	THE HISTORIC ROOTS OF TURKISH-IRANIAN RELATIONS
		The Shi’is were regarded as potentially disloyal and the growth of Shi’ism among the tribal population in Iraq alarmed the Abdulhamid regime in the late 1880s and early 1890s, prompting the Palace to embark upon serious consideration of the Shi’i issue.
		This development did not escape Sultan Abdulhamid, who seems to have seen the rift between the Iranian government and the Shi’i mujtahids as an opportunity to promote a radical program to bring about a religious rapprochement between Shi’i and Sunni Islam, and thereby extend his own political influence at the expense of the Shah.

		He posed the question of whether Lebanon is most valuable as a "means to an end" in negotiating with Syria, and what the implications of this will be for U.S. policy.
		Abdulhamid was somewhat less optimistic than Ambassador Indyk about the prospects for Syrian reform; although the president is willing to engage in a reform process, he said, reformers are a relatively weak element in the regime, whereas hardliners continue to wield significant power.
		Abdulhamid said that he does not believe anyone in the Syrian leadership today would be willing to surrender or even relax its control of Lebanon, but internal Lebanese and united international pressure on Syria to move toward disengagement will continue to mount.
