مغرب اور اسلام : باہمی تعارف و تخالف کی مختصر تاریخ

Abstract

Islam and the West is a common term generally used for the two different
and notable civilizations of the World. Most of the people are actually not
aware of the real connotation and perspective of this term and of mutual
interaction and encounter of the two. This paper studies the historical
contact of Islam and the west and gives a comprehensive account on the
subject. It finds that the interaction of Islam and the West was and has been
inimical and uncongenial. The real cause of this hostility is the irrefutable
and indefensible historical prejudices of the West against Islam and
Muslims. To perish this mutual repugnance west will have to bring itself
out from this bias. However some of the present day Muslims, who have
taken on aggressive approaches and attitudes towards the west, also have to
bring themselves out from their unislamic lookouts and acts.
