TOWARDS A GLOBAL CULTURAL SECURITY; ORIENTALISM AND COMPETITION IN THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS

Summary/Abstract: In a lecture under the above title, held at the Faculty of Islamic Studies in Sarajevo on the 17th of January 2013 by Qatar's Minister of Waqf (Islamic property) and Islamic Affairs Dr. Ghaith bin Mubarak al-Kuwari, recalling the great step forward in a contemporary technological sciences and ubiquitous means of communication, the Minister underscores that the borders between the East and the West are erased and the fact that there is a significant number of Easterners to be found among Westerners, as well as there is a notable number of Westerners settled in the East, which is a good prerequisite for a high-quality and objective encounter between these different cultures. Today, the East and the West are facing the same problems. The keys to solving some of the problems are in the hands of Easterners, while the keys to solving other problems are in the hands of Westerners. It is therefore essential that each party revises their knowledge and attitudes about each other, which hopefully will result in working together and pooling resources for a common purpose, so that we could provide, both for ourselves and for the future generations, a new horizon of life on our beautiful planet where all elements and components of the creation are interrelated in a perfect harmony, concludes the Minister.
