• A sharp critique of the invasion of the Muslim world

The book titled The Invasion of the Muslim World rigorously exposes the ideological, political, and religious mechanisms used by the West to penetrate and dominate Muslim societies. It is a critical analysis, translation, and synthesis of A. Le Chatelier’s original work, a French military officer, orientalist, and missionary, revisited by two committed Muslim intellectuals: Muhibb ad-Dīn al-Khaṭīb and Musāʿid al-Yāfī.

The invasion of the Muslim world, as explored here, goes beyond military conquest. It includes intellectual, educational, and religious strategies aimed at reshaping the minds and identities of colonized populations. The work reveals missionary tactics, the use of human sciences as a tool of influence, and the Western propaganda networks designed to weaken Islam from within.

• An essential resource to understand Muslim resistance

The Invasion of the Muslim World is a vital resource for those interested in colonial history, Islamic political thought, or the deconstruction of orientalist discourse. It highlights both the cultural strategies of European powers and the early stages of a structured Muslim response to Western imperialism.

By unveiling the true objectives of this invasion of the Muslim world, the book encourages intellectual vigilance, the defense of Islamic identity, and a deeper understanding of the historical dynamics that continue to shape the modern Muslim world.
