You need to look no further than the controversy raised by the legendary Taha Hussein in his classic “The Future of Culture in Egypt” (1938). Contrary to the criticism, Taha Hussein never advocated doing away with Egypt’s Arab identity. That is, Greek rationalism, secularism, and the whole notion that modern Egypt was ‘European’ Egypt. Taha Hussein again. I’d hate to replace Taha Hussein with Henry Kissinger, but the ultimate lesson of co-evolution is that you do not need to.
