The kings of sects and looks at the history of Islam

The kings of sects and looks at the history of Islam, These are translated chapters from the book of the orientalist scholar "Dozi", and we chose to translate them into Arabic to show the point of view of a great European scholar. They - even if they sometimes differ from our opinions in some aspects - deserve to be read very carefully, as not everything that we are not satisfied with in terms of opinions is worthy of being dismissed and neglected. If the scholar Fakhr al-Din al-Razi says in his introduction to the explanation of Ibn Sina''s "Al-Isharat": "Report is not refutation, and interpretation is not criticism," then we should not say in our turn: "And translation is also other than criticism." That is why I limited myself to conveying the opinions of that orientalist without criticism. Discussion or comment, except as necessary, in terms of clarification of what I believe most readers need.
