The Head

No other city in the Moslem world has so many students of Moslem theology and law, or pours out such a flood of Moslem literature, as does Cairo. Millions of pages of the Koran, commentaries by the hundred thousand, and scores of books attacking the Christian faith, defending Islam or propagating its teaching, come ceaselessly year after year from the Moslem presses of this great center of Moslem learning.
Books printed in Cairo are read by the campfires of the Sahara, in the market-place of Timbuktu, under the very shadow of the Kaaba, and are treasured in the mosques of Java and Western China. "There is no speech nor language" in the Moslem world where the voice of the Cairo press "is not heard."
