The Missionary Review of the World says that the Balkan war has greatly incited the Mohammedans of the Indian Empire. In a large meeting of Moslems in Calcutta, speakers declared “that the Christian nations have joined hands to rob the Moslems of all their possessions, that the believers in the Bible are always the enemies of the believers in the Koran, but that they are unable to extinguish the fire which Mohammed has started, and that some day the cry, Allah Akbar, once heard before the gates of Vienna, will be heard again in the uttermost parts of the earth.” This same spirit, we are told, is spreading to other lands, with a certain anger toward the British government for not coming to the aid of the Moslem cause. The article closes by saying that “the activity and unrest are some proofs of the fact that Moslems throughout the earth are beginning to feel their oneness in religion and in politics.”
