They suffer from having been in a single movement in a single direction; from having begun as a mood and ended rather as a mode, that is a mere custom or fashion.

But any modern Christian thus criticising the Moslem movement will do well to criticise himself and his world at the same time.

For in truth most modern things are mere movements in the same sense as the Moslem movement.
They are at best fashions, in which one thing is exaggerated because it has been neglected.

They are at worst mere monomanias, in which everything is neglected that one thing may be exaggerated.
Good or bad, they are alike movements which in their nature can only move for a certain distance and then stop.

Feminism, for instance, is in its nature a movement, and one that must stop somewhere.
But the Suffragettes no more established a philosophy of the sexes by their feminism than the Arabs did by their anti-feminism.
