| Summary: | Faced with world‐wide political and ecological problems the West and the world of Islam stand in need of dialogue and cooperation. For these to continue and succeed, the discrimination of the West against Islam must stop. However, Islam is misunderstood also in its own camp. Efforts to research Islam on the academic level, as impartially and as free from prejudice as possible, are therefore of the utmost importance. Western civilization and technology have been adopted in the Islamic world, whereas as far as the humanities are concerned, an attitude of unconditional acceptance coexists with one of total re‐jection. Critical discussion and argument with the West can and must in no way be separated from a thoroughgoing Islamic self‐criticism. |
