Interessanter versuch, vier von Crane Brinton in seinem buch "The Anatomy of Revolution" aufgestellte historische gesetze, die den ablauf aller revolutionen bestimmen sollen, auf ihre giiltig- keit an dem sturz der Omajjadendynastie nachzuprufen. Diese gesetze sind, in gekurzter form: i... the danger point occurs when the members of the ruling class begin to confess the justice of the attacks and to doubt the validity of their established position. 2. The old government which is destroyed is characterized not by tyranny but by weakness. 3. As the pre-revolutionary period reaches its climax the citizens of the state ... withdraw their loyalty and support until power ceases to exist. 4. There is not in all history a single instance of a successful revolution which began as a spontaneous rising of lower classes. Revolutions are led by men with the leisure... to engage in political activity-men for whom the existing society ... provides no outlet or opportunities for the realization of their ordinary ambitions. Frye findet, dass diese vier gesetze sich im falle der Omajjaden bewahren. Diese art der geschichtsbetrachtung ist bei uns neu. Sie beruhrt sehr prinzipielle fragen und sei hier lediglich zur diskussion gestellt.
