I have found another title exploring the relationship between the Arabs and the European Civilization. It is "The Arabs and the European Civilization (1975)" by Mohamed Mofid Alshobashi. It has no content as it just an introduction to the topic to be read during a bus journey or so. This is evident from the book description in from of the title "Ketab Geb" i.e. a small book that fits in ones' pocket and one could finish reading it in a bus journey. The current book is only 124 small pages long and was appeared in Cairo and Baghdad in the same time in 1975.
The blog aggregates news about publications, activities, etc. related to Egyptian/Arabic scholarship in the field of Greco-Roman studies and thus seeks to challenge the Eurocentrism prevalent in the field. It aims also at directing the attention to relevant materials from modern nonacademic/public contexts; roughly from 1798-to the present. The news comes mainly from Egypt without excluding other Arabic countries.

The Myth of European Civilization by Atia Amer 1990
Searching the print culture of modern and contemporary Egypt for "The European Civilization", I found a book titled "The Myth of The European Civilization" by Atia Amer. The book is published in 1990 by the still operating The Anglo-Egyptian Publishing House (https://www.anglo-egyptian.com/en/). Unfortunately, the title is not to be found in their online catalog neither I can find a digital copy of it online. This book is wanted. I hope someday I will catch it.
The Influence of the Arabs on the European Civilizaton by Abbās Mahmūd al-Aqqād (1889 –1964)
The Influence of the Arabs on the European Civilization is one of the latest books of Abbās Mahmūd al-Aqqād (1889 –1964), the famous Egyptian intellectual and author. The book was first published by Dar el-Maarif in 1960 with many subsequent unaltered editions, which may indicate the wide popularity of this title. The last of these editions is published in 2013 by Hindawi charity foundation. You can download a free version (kindle, pdf or ePub) of it from here:http://www.hindawi.org/books/57380918/ . Here is the book cover and the content.
