Critique of Religious Thought
Essays published in Beirut arguing that religious thought, as it was used to explain the defeat of 1967, cannot be reconciled with the scientific knowledge of the age; the best-known essay reads the refusal of Iblis to bow before Adam as a tragedy of loyalty to God. Al-Azm was tried for inciting religious strife and acquitted.
