Decision of the General Secretariat
Although he is specialised in comparative literature, his writings deal with ideological and cultural aspects that controlled the Arab arena in the past quarter century. He is one of the few Arab scientists who gave all his time and effort to study the Jewish issue, Zionist ideology, the cause of western modernism as well as secularism.
Al Maseeri’s style is distinguished because his language is simple which can be understood by all. He also established a new school for the study of Zionism and Jewish colonialism. His vision of the west does not call its rejection, but rather for adopting an innovative way of life based on Arab Islamic civilisation.
