the prophet of mercy (pbuh) and his followers had spread the supreme values and sublime ideals of islam all over the world, without obliging people to embrace them. then, the interaction process between the islamic civilization and the european, egyptian, persian and indian civilizations had started. therefore, islam neither obliterated the egyptian civilization, but it enhanced it, nor it obliterated the indian one, but it refined it. it also had purged all civilizations from all sordid doctrines and thoughts. then, it polished out the good, beneficial heritage and cultures.

and as time went by, a new islamic civilization was born. components of the other nations and civilizations which embraced islam contributed to its growth. then, the islamic civilization was enriched by all that through conversing and interacting. later - when europe started to rise from its deep sleep - the islamic civilization was an important cultural component which supported the western european civilization with every diverted knowledge, values and cultural giving it owns.

the same thing can be said about the western civilization which hadn't emerge suddenly, yet it had to form in so many centuries until it reached its peak in our modern time. this is due to the cultural interaction with other hellenic, roman and other civilizations, the historical accumulation, and interactive processes of giving and taking throughout the modern human history.

the clearest evidence on the fact that the islamic civilization had never crave at any time to clash with the western civilization was that both arabs and muslims didn't aim at any time to destroy the privacies of the western civilization and its cultural identity.
