"For a long time now it has been our practice in the modern Western world to define ourselves primarily by nationality, and to see other identities and allegiances--religious, political, and the like--as subdivisions of the larger and more important whole. The events of September 11 [2001] and after have made us aware of another perception--of a religion subdivided into nations rather than a nation subdivided into religions--and this has induced some of us to think of ourselves and of our relations with others in ways that had become unfamiliar. The confrontation with a force that defines itself as Islam has given a new relevance--indeed, urgency--to the theme of the 'clash of civilizations.' " (ATLANTIC MONTHLY) This article discusses the history of human civilization and examines the clash between religiously defined civilizations.
