Rola stereotypów i nietolerancji w stosunkach między cywilizacją zachodnią a islamem i zagrożenia z nich wynikające dla bezpieczeństwa światowego

The aim of the article was to show stereotypes and intolerance in mutual relations resulting from colonial past. S.P. Huntingoton's publication is an example of such an approach. Fundamentalism, Islam as a religion and terrorism cannot be linked as one as some western scholars try to present the problem. "The History of War" and "The History of Colonisation" are works that clearly fight with stereotypes and try to fight their sources. The author of the article is certainly aware that such difficult issues cannot be fully explained in one publication. Nevertheless, due to globalisation the Europeans must look for the ways of communication with the Muslims Both these civilisations apparently have much to offer to each other.
