By Alfred Butler

It is significant that Alfred J, Butler's book, The Arab Conquest of Egypt, and the Last Thirty Years of the Roman Dominion, first published in 1902, is being republished at this time. The African converts to Islam in Africa and those abroad have at last begun to lose some of their romanticism about the Arabs and Islam and are now asking some pertinent questions about this religion and it's original propagators that they should have asked long ago.
