Summary/Abstract: Orientalism plays an important role in the West and the Islamic world. This is not surprising since Orientalism was - and still is - something that can not be separated from the problem of civilizational conflict between Islam and the others, one could even say that Orientalism is the ideological basis of this conflict. Therefore it is not allowed to undermine its significance today in this civilizational conflict. Orientalism has in any case most influenced the formation of European ideas of Islam and the attitude of the West towards it through the centuries.
