Islam and West

The reality is that Islam and the West share a common tradition. From the time of Muhammad, Muslims have recognised this, but the West cannot accept it. Today some Muslims are beginning to turn against the cultures of the People of the Book,which have humiliated and despised them. They have even begun to Islamise their new hatred. If Muslims need to understand our Western traditions and institutions more thoroughly today, we in the West need to divest ourselves of some of our prejudice.
