Ashraf, M: Islam and the Machiavellian Western Politics: An

"Conflict of civilizations will be the latest phase in the evolution of the conflict of the modern world," says Huntington in his "The Clash of Civilizations" in 1997, but Huntington is blatantly wrong. This clash is the genesis of the history of mankind. All the prophetic missions were ascribed to teach people to differentiate between truth and false and Islam is the youngest among them revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbh) in the 7th century (CE). This revelation is thus proclaimed in the Holy Qur‘an as light and all other paths of life are curtailed as darkness. The entire Democratic past and present of the West is myopic and is reduced to the status of a heinous instrument decorated with the Machiavellian political grammar and set with unscrupulous hypocrisy, fathomless hoax and abysmal fraud. Islamic politics is completely free of all those odious attributes rather full of moral values and justice. Thus,it is important to realize that the clash between Islam and the West is nothing but the conflict of cultures which are not compatible rather more importantly mutually exclusive. These confronting ideals of Islam and the West are the main objects of the present monograph.
