Abstract
Muslim countries gained political independence from mid 40s onwards. However, during the
colonial rule, Western powers tried to replace the Muslim thought, culture and institutions
with the Western thought and culture through all possible means. Muslim reaction to Western
thought and civilization after liberation ranged from complete acceptance to resistance and
total indifference. The dominating approach was of reconciliation which resulted in
Westernization of the Muslim societies by the second half of 20th century. However, it seems
necessary to review the Muslims strategy at this stage. This article is a review and proposes a
new approach in this direction.
