This book is an attempt to point out and account for the modern man’s need to get into a constructive dialogue which will bring the peoples of the world together in the face of the powers of dissipation and segregation. So many writers, both Western and non-Western, realized the fact that the notion of ‘the Clash of Civilizations’ is in its essence, an attempt to create an enemy for economic and political reasons. To achieve their desired ends, defenders of this notion are ready to demolish cultures and to subdue nations. Throughout the book I made it clear that the strategy of promoting the clash of civilizations is against the principle of democracy. It is against the principle of dialogue which allows for the expression of the opposing point of view. To suppress this notion of dialogue, the other will have to be presented as an aggressor who needs to be checked.
