Quotes by Ira M. Lapidus  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“The merger of religion and politics is a classical Islamic ideal; in the recent era, they have again been brought together. The utopian aspirations of the Islamic movements evoke the Muslim ideal of the caliphate, but in many respects they are an altogether novel adaptation of Islamic concepts to modern conditions.”
Ira M. Lapidus, A History of Islamic Societies

“Many Europeans see immigrants as they saw colonial subjects � as lower peoples who have to be assimilated by education � and assume that their civilization will be defined only on European terms.”
Ira M. Lapidus, A History of Islamic Societies

“There is nothing in the Quran or early Muslim religious literature to suggest an iconoclastic attitude. Grabar has argued that Muslim calligraphy and vegetal arts were most likely a pragmatic adaptation to the need for a new imperial-Islamic emblem distinct from the Byzantine and Sasanian portraits of emperors. The use of vegetal designs and writing was prior to any religious theory about them. Once adopted, they became the norm for Islamic public art. Theories about Islamic iconoclasm were developed later.”
