So, bevor ich mir diesen Thread reinziehe, will ich euch die Möglichkeit geben, die Thesen bzw. Erklärungen des Bernhard Lewis in Auszügen selber zu lesen.
Ich habe ein 28 seitiges Dokument (ich glaube) eines Vortrages gefunden. Ich weiß aber nicht mehr den Originallink, also habe ich ihn auf einen One-File-Hoster geuppt.

Hier einige Überschriften:
The Rise of the House of Unbelief
IN Islam the struggle of good and evil very soon acquired
political and even military dimensions. Muhammad, it will
be recalled, was not only a prophet and a teacher, like the

Some Familiar Accusations
Among the components in the mood of anti-Westernism,
and more especially of anti-Americanism, were certain

A Clash of Civilizations
THE origins of secularism in the west may be found in two
circumstances -- in early Christian teachings and, still more,
experience, which created two institutions, Church and
State; and in later Christian conflicts, which drove the two
apart. Muslims, too, had their religious disagreements, but
there was nothing remotely approaching the ferocity of the
Christian struggles between Protestants and Catholics,
which devastated Christian Europe in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries and finally drove Christians in
desperation to evolve a doctrine of the separation of religion
from the state....
So, dass war's erstmal.
