Islam and the Psychology of the Muslim is a jewel from the early 20th century; written before the disaster of modern; politically correct thought control. The author; Andre Sevier; was a scholar of Islamic doctrine and its political history. So in clear; concise prose; he explains how Mohammed was a product of Arabian culture and presents an excellent short history of Islam. The most interesting aspect of Servier's book is his explanation of how the doctrine of Islam shapes a Muslim's personality. Islam determines both the thought and emotions of the believer. However; in the end; Mr. Sevier repeats an old error. After cataloging the suffering caused by the doctrine of Islam; he still believes that Westerners can deal with Islamic nations in some clever way that will prevent the ideology from harming humanity. Nearly a century; later we find Western intellectuals continue to make this same mistake.
