Abstract
After the terrible events of September 11,2001, Islamophobia increased and many Western people began to think of Muslims as terrorists. What made matters worse is the biased discourse of those orientalists who portrayed Islam as an enemy to the West. Samuel Huntington's thesis The Clash of Civilizations is an example of this discourse which demonstrated that the civilizational differences between Islamic and Western cultures can lead to many crises. This paper tries to refute the argument of such orientalists. It, also, examines some of Edward Said's views in his thesis The Clash of Ignorance which he wrote to invalidate Huntington's argument. Wajahat Ali's play The Domestic Crusaders is discussed to prove that the atrocious attacks of 9/11 do not validate Huntington's argument as some Western people assumed.
