The Clash of Civilization: A Critique

Braibanti's conclusions are so startling that I shall quote them fully:

At this moment in history the dynamics and clearly defined values of Islam have the theoretical potential for resuscitating the world's moral decline .... Civilization is confronted with a threat not only to Islamic values but to the values of all who believe in the inner life. The tacit dimensions of the spirit is under siege. If Islam can link its value system with similar values of the non-Islamic world and in common cause influence society it will have fulfilled its Qur'anic destiny. 17 I can find no better words for terminating a lecture that thematized the idea of a clash of civilizations.

17 R. Braibanti, p. 47.
