Western Vision about the Islamic World Revolutions: An Analytical Study in the Political and Philosophical Thought of Bernard Loui
Abstract
Bernard Lewis is considered one of the most prominent figures of (Anglo-American) Orientalism. He has written about Islamic history and Islamic movements. His writings on play and Islam have gained privacy in the Western world, and in Orientalist and political studies. The subject of revolution in the Islamic world was one of his most important thesis, in some aspects of which he sought to define the relationship between East and West in general, and Islam and the West in particular. In his analysis of the concept of revolution in the Islamic world, he proceeded from tracing the development of the concept by tracing it in the literature of Islamic movements that appeared in Islamic history and contemporary Islamic movements, and its information was characterized by extensive intellectual know-how, but in return it was characterized by generalization, and this is due to the selectivity that occurred in the methodology of Orientalism. In general, in line with basic trends, not academic. Some media networks in the West helped to promote Lewis's propositions, which now cover most parts of the world, benefiting from the revolution of information and high-tech communications, which focused on an idea derived from Lewis that Islam is the next enemy that threatens the world.
