"An extraordinary European, Wilfred Scawen Blunt, who was a passionate, Arabist, pro-Arab, anti-imperialist, British, man, who wrote a book...in that book he said, `I dont see the loss of Muslim Sovereignty as a negative thing. I see it as a posisitve thing. Because Islam will no longer be encumbered with the corruption of a political entity, masking itself as a religious entity. And it will enable the Muslims to discover their deep spiritual truths.`
