The relationship between Islam and west was never on equal footing. The dividends of the mutual cooperation between west and Islam served solely the interests of the west. Any war alliance, pact or association worked to increase the west’s supremacy. The Muslim world in return was dictated by western powers and suffered the harsh economic conditions imposed by aid donor western countries. This was a relation characterized by the inequality of the power and resources. The west did not raise the question of differences until the Muslims were blind followers of the west. The moment the Islamic world demanded economic independence and non-interference in internal policies, the issue of Islam’s incompatibility with the west arises. West found Islamic values a threat to the west; it forgot the pluralistic nature of Islam and took it as an ideology as interpreted by Salafism. West took Islam as an anti-west ideology and spread the propaganda of fundamentalism, extremism and rigid concepts of Islam. Western regarded the poorest and underdeveloped people of the Islamic world a threat to them; this created a deep chasm between the west and the Islam.
The moment the Islamic world demanded economic independence and non-interference in internal policies, the issue of Islam’s incompatibility with the west arises.

Use consistent tense.
Use:
Demanded/arose.
Demands/arises.

Not :
demanded/arises.

Title of this introduction should be "West demonizing Islam" not "Islam vs West".

A better introduction could point out areas where the two actors (Islam and west) are not in tandem. You could have said that Islam and West have different definitions of success in economy, social and political life. The fault line between the two civilizations are not only geographical and tangible (Israel vs palestine) but also cultural and ideological.

Everything you've said here is absolutely true, but introduction is not a place for such content.

Again, I would say that the core of the problem here is breath of the topic. It's too wide.

it is very difficult to write on such a topic, there is no start and no end of this topic.

it is not possible to write a good essay on this type of topic.

and safeer! after you come come back home we may start writing in a manner that is suitable to all.

three or four days to write a topic, so that you can continue essay writing along with rest of subjects.

I wrote the introduction for this topic many a time then crossed that, finally I got fed up and uploaded this one . this is neither good nor encompassing all the issues involved.

suggest a new topic; join us soon we need your ideas. 4 days for one topic would make this practice easy.

thanks in anticipation

One more question is how lack of democracy is "wrongdoing" of Muslim world. Many Arab countries were far better before "Arab Spring", and now on the brink of civil war and Libya is destroyed completely after so called revolution for democracy.

((the word Mullah is biased one and exhibits prejudice. Use a softer word such as clerics))

5)Policies of America seen as Policies of Whole west in Muslim world

((in the outline this appears as a spontaneous example. It's better to avoid it here))

7)West needs a psychological enemy
a)Jews Enemy
b)Soviet Enemy

((this is an excellent point, but poorly presented. Write like "West always finds an enemy whether they be Jews, Soviets or Muslims"))

A good start...

See above, I've mentioned a few suggestions.

Those two books of IR are:
1- Essentials of International relations by Karen A. Mingst
2- international relations, perspectives and controversies by Kieth L. Shimko

The first is not available in the market. You can easily find the second one.

I would recommended you to study from "globalization of world politics". I came across that book very late. Otherwise I would have chosen that one.

Thanks... I have noted the points you highlighted in the essay.


Bundle of thanks for IR book recommendation. Currently I am reading INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS BY ROBERT JACKSON. Very easy and helpful in understanding basic theories of IR. IN SHAH ALLAH after it, will start the one recommended by you....

Write on both standpoints. It will be a good mental exercise to defend any stance.
I will also upload my outlines soon.

Can Islam and west coexist?

Introduction

Ideology is no more the sole reason of split in west and Islam; they are separated apart by their cultures, values and practices. Affinities in faith no more bind them as people of book. This is the differing thinking which have made both of them a rival of the other. People in Islamic world consider west a cause of their destruction, and on the other side, the west feels danger from the unchanged characteristics of Islam. The centuries old tolerance practiced by Islam has been forgotten by the west; what it remembers is the intolerant nature of salafism. West considers the spread of Islamic values a threat to their dynamic and liberal life style. Mutual fears give birth to animosities, which often result in violence against each other. The unrest in Muslim world is an instance of west support for Muslim fragmentation. Irrespective of the fact that Muslim society lived peacefully in west and contributed to the development of the west, it is seen with suspicion. West is regarding Islam indigestible for it. they deem their toleration for Islam a mistake that will destroy their whole dynamic civilization


A. west regards this division a clash of values;

1. West emphasizes individuality whereas Islam stresses upon development of society.
2. Differences of opinion in punishing a criminal
3. Islamic laws are immutable and unchangeable and west considers its own laws as dynamic
4. Islam’s policy of apartheid; Islam does not give equality to nonbelievers.

B. west finds difficult to accommodate Islamic culture:

1. Western liberalism and Islamic conservatism
2. West struggle for gender equality and Islamic gender segregation
3. Islamic political system is devised by Quran and west separates the church and religion
4. Islam regards itself absolute religion; west also considers itself a supreme civilization

C. west fears Islam;

1. The rising awareness of Muslims of their resources and rights endangers the supremacy of west.
2. The rigid and biased version of Islam, the salafism, dreads west
3. They find Islam an attack on their liberal values
4. The immovable rules of Sharia are regarded as political doctrines of Nazism and fascism.

d. mutual fears and reactions to this rift

1. West supports divisions, monarchies and undemocratic culture and internal wars in Muslim world
2. Muslims retaliation results in incidents like Paris bomb blasts
3. Muslim immigrants suffer discrimination

e. tolerance may promote temporal coexistence, but clash of Islam and west is inevitable
