Abstract

This article presents information on a survey done in by the periodical "The Economist," on relation of Islamic countries and ideology of its people in comparison to rest of the world. The idea, Islam, ignores the frontier that most people draw between man's inner life and his public actions, between religion and politics. In Europe, Bosnian Muslims have for more than two years been brutally harried by Serbs who are theoretically Christians. As a general thesis, this may be true enough, but, of the eight civilizations that Samuel Huntington, a professor at Harvard University, lists, four or five do not really fit his definition.
