Preface by Cornelis Hulsman: In 1997 I started making press overviews on issues related to Muslim-Christian relations and founded the Religious News Service from the Arab World which later was renamed Arab-West Report. Between June 13, 1997 and July 11, 1998 I collected articles from al-Muslimoon of which we bought paper copies in the newsstands in Maadi, Cairo. With the transition of Arab-West Report from a practically free electronic publication to a subscriber based publication it is no longer possible to make these al-Muslimoon articles accessible through our subscription system since we hold no copyright to them. Yet, the arguments made are fascinating. It shows very well what believing Muslims dislike about a particular Islamophobic type of Christianity. The topics mentioned in 1997-1998 are not so different from the topics of today. These are concerns about Christian missionary activities, conversions or issues related to culture and tradition. I am very pleased that Melina Aboulfalah has made an overview of the major themes and arguments in these articles for Arab-West Report since in particular Christians are not always fully aware of these sentiments among believing Muslims.
