The minorities in Arab history

The issue of minorities in Arab history is considered one of the sensitive issues that attracted a large share of discussion and studies. The author in this book reviews how Islam and the Arabs dealt with this problem and how they absorbed it from the beginning of the Islamic call until the present day. In this context, the author, Professor Aouni Fersh, raises issues of great importance and danger and answers the following questions: - Was the Arabic language and Islam imposed in the Fertile Crescent, the Nile Valley, and the Maghreb under coercion, or within objective circumstances that drove national formation and religious transformation? - Are contemporary Arabs outside the Arabian Peninsula intruders or original? - What is the role of external factors, from invasion, foreign dominance, and neglect, in the formation of "issues" of minorities in Arab history? - Have Arabs entered the stage of the nation-state while being vertically divided into "majority" and "minorities."
