    INTRODUCTION OF ORIENTALISM

    History of the world shows paganism always remained against

    !slam "ut it faced failure# When it feels weakness in $ghting face

    to face paganism adopts the way of conspiracies, After crusades

    paganism changed its policy and disguised itself in form of

    Orientalism# This mo%ement tried to deface uslims and !slamic

    teaching under pretence of knowledge and research and to some

    e&tent, succeeded, On one side Orientalists admitted

    authenticity and truth of 'uran and Sunnah ,and on the other

    hand they created confusion and tried to hit "asic !slamic sources

    in order to create se%eral de"ates a"out !slamic "asic sources#

    (ernard )ewis is one of these Orientalist # He has same thinking

    and ideology# !n his "ook *THE +!S!S O- !S)A .Holy War and
