For the Ikhwan movement, see P. W. Harrison, "The Situation in Arabia," Atlantic Monthly, December, 1920; S. Mylrea, "The Politico-Religious Situation in Arabia," The Moslem World, July, 1919. For the Salafî movement, see "Wahhabisme Son Avenir sociale et le Mouvement salafî," Revue du Monde musulman, 1919. The influence of the West is the great dynamic in the modern transformation of the East.
I have ventured to derive the familiar "Puss" from the Arab. "Ikhwan al-Safa," a popular term for virtuous friends who perfectly love each other in all purity: it has also a mystic meaning. There is a well-known Hindustani book of this name printed by Prof. Forbes in Persian character and translated by Platts and Eastwick.
Perhaps it is symptomatic of a more bellicose temper in Islam that the last few years have witnessed the rapid spread of two new puritan, fanatic movements the Ikhwan and the Salafîya. The Ikhwan movement began obscurely about ten years ago in inner Arabia the Nejd. It is a direct outgrowth of Wahabism, from which it differs in no essential respect.
