Meraat-ul-Gharb

Meraat-ul-Gharb (Arabic: مرآة الغرب, romanized: mirʾāt al-ġarb, lit.

'Mirror of the West') is an Arabic-language newspaper founded and published in New York City by Najeeb Diab in 1899.

[2] In 1908, Meraat-ul-Gharb was reported to be "one of the instruments which incited the Turkish military to its recent revolt" against the Ottoman Sultan's Government.

[3] The newspaper published many of the Mahjar (emigree) writers in its columns, and was an early vehicle for the writing of Kahlil Gibran (1910), Mikhail Naimy (1915), Ameen Rihani (1916), and Ilya Abu Madi (1918).

The paper's political views and editorials were, in its earliest issues, anti-Ottoman and then anti-Turk.
