"He believed that Egyptian and Arab/Eastern civilizations were diametrically opposed, stressing that Egypt would only progress by reclaiming its ancient roots."

This is a pretty extreme view for someone like Taha Hussein to take. Is there a source? Slackerlawstudent 11:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Faulty information

"Taha Hussein was an Egyptian renaissance intellectual and a proponent of the ideology of Pharaonism. He believed that Egyptian and Arab/Eastern civilizations were diametrically opposed, stressing that Egypt would only progress by reclaiming its ancient roots."

However, his book "مستقبل الثقافة في مصر" published in 1938 seems to stress the opposite. He calls for Arab nationalism (although no pan-arabism) and stresses the ties between the east, west and all of the Arab lands. Unless you have an academic source (based on the above, I highly doubt it) this phrase should be deleted altogether. --Maha Odeh 07:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A 'Faulty Practitioner' and Article Quality Issues

He became blind at the age of three, the result of faulty treatment by an unskilled practitioner, a condition which caused him a great deal of anguish throughout his entire life.

Uh. Can we get a little more clarity on that? 'Faulty treatment' doesn't exactly make any sense, nor does 'unskilled pratitioner,' what treatment? Why was it 'faulty?' What kind of pratitioner? This whole article reads like it was revised or written by someone with very poor English skills, or merely taken from another language version of Wikipedia and translated using Google translate or another poor quality service. The whole article needs a re-write by someone with good English skills. BaSH PR0MPT (talk) 10:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
