| Sumario: | This article systematically presents an alternate scenario to the theme
that Islam and the West are heading toward an inevitable clash of civilizations.
It explores the common mod values shared by Christians and
Muslims and identifies many areas where both Islam and the West
would benefit if they made common cause. The paper proceeds to
deconstruct some of the imagined differences between Islam and the
West and proceed.. to examine the emerging reconciliation, mutual
understanding, and cooperation between the Vatican and various
Muslim groups and governments. The author laments the decline of
morality and virtue globally. He insists that the upsurge of spirituality
and piety in contemporary Muslim societies may benefit not only the
West but all of humanity. If Muslim fervor and Christian order can
make common cause, it can stem the moral and spiritual decline of civilization.
