Politics, Leadership and Power: The Mutual Compatibility of Islam and the West

More about the book

The book challenges Samuel Huntington's notion of a "clash of civilizations," arguing instead that cultural conflicts have been intrinsic to human history. It positions Islam, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century, as a guiding light (Noor) in contrast to what it describes as the darkness (Jaheliyah) of other paths. The author critiques Western democracy as hypocritical and morally flawed, asserting that Islamic politics embodies justice and ethical values. Ultimately, it claims that the conflict between Islam and the West stems from fundamentally incompatible cultural frameworks.
