Summary/Abstract: Europe, seen as Christianity, was from the early years of the seventh century in war with the Islamic world. The „Clash of Civilizations” (Huntington, 1998) was continuing, although we “hide” behind words such as tolerance, understanding, and love. What are the possible invidual levels between the two worlds? But history shows that Christianity conquered the world of Islam and the Islamic world reached into the „heart” of Christianity. And today the two worlds are trying to conquer each other: while Christianity is exporting its neoliberal ideas that could produce a „fourth wave of democratization” for the Arab - Muslim world, the world of Islam started the “third wave of Islamization” of Europe, characterized by “migration and terror”.
