Some interesting concepts here such as the operation of the "waqf" and the shift from "Justice" to "Freedom" as rallying cries for change.

16:06 typical western haughtiness . Europe learned the art of music i,e, Orchestra , opera fom Andalusi ( Mu ashahat) Where collectives of singers sang poems of beautiful Arab poetry , an extravagant experience a europeans just wouldent see or hear in his wildest dreams in the Middle Ages.

The point of cutting the streets is so very true there a big highway and a tunnel cutting the biggest and oldest streets of Cairo which separated the old city and ruined its integrity, but I would say they were created more to accommodate the new traffic to the new town built in 19th century not only for “looking modern” reasons.

Audio only coming through one channel?

+William Fenton I guess whoever processed and uploaded the video didn't notice that the audio was split to a single channel, and the other was "removed." I also hear it through one channel too

I applaud the practice of uploading the lectures for the benefit of any English-speaking person who has internet access. I must note, however, that in this lecture Mr. Bulliet wastes much time over detail, without touching upon the importance of Egypt to successive Mediterranean empires (partly because of Egypt's agricultural production --three harvests a year), the conflict between the Ottomans and their Albanian subject, Mehmed Ali Pasha of Kavala, the interests of European powers, and the like...

Just another opportunist who didn’t hesitate to betray to his makers, the Ottoman Empire, with the help of anglophones Ironically his dynasty’s brought down by the same powers when they didn’t need him anymore. “I am well aware that the (Ottoman) Empire is heading by the day toward destruction.On its ruins I will build a vast kingdom up to the Euphrates and the Tigris.”

thanks for making this lecture available. yet I have to say that i am not at all convinced about any conclusions or the questions about destruction or undermining of "Islamic institutions" or the structure of society leading to tyranny etc. These institutions of the legal system and religious orders were not actually fulfilling the functions they were supposed to fill in the late ottomans, on the contrary they were detrimental to the state or "the justice" (circle of justice, whatever) itself.
