Discovery of the world system in Islamic civilization has been considered. Although confrontation of Christianity and Islam also has the reason why the Europe civilization dislikes Islamic civilization, both were essentially network civilization and it seems that it is because it was deep to have got to know each other involving a market and trade. And it was connected to the discovery of the world system which Wallerstein says to which it would be the 15th century and a situation where Europe was driven into the time of the Ottoman Empire, and "Portugal and Spain" in the tip part of the Europe civilization advance to the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Power with an external opportunity to the world system of Islamic civilization: It was not based on the 5th principle (an environmental principle and an external principle), Social-structure power: It was based on the 3rd principle (principle of community development), and it seems in contention of the influence centering on caliph and a large merchant's influence in the Saracen Empire that it has produced.
In this way, if Islamic civilization is seen, the strong influence of Persia in Islamic civilization, such as Barmaki family and Al Ghazali*, would be seen. It passed Achaemenes and Sassanids -- in the Abbaid Caliphate have realized the true idea (equal ity between believers) of Islam, and it could be called the relation of the width in Islam.
Pursuit came also out of Sufi's appearance which was started in the time of the Abbaid Caliphate about coincidence (relation of the length in Islam) of God and faith.

In the place stabilized also in the Islamic civilization area, with time, it increased, class specialization arose and competition produced productivity for every area. However, in order that an equal principle might work to some extent in the case of Islamic civilization, the complicated class system did not progress like India. However, it was not necessarily practical civilization like China. In a meaning called spiritualism, it seems that it was closer to India than China. Therefore, although political power developed rather than India, it was not as China, it was not about religious use as India (since it seems that there was political development in the society which pursues spiritual value rather than practical value), but the form used to some extent was taken. The political power in the Islamic civilization area can be seen in Buyid dynasty, Seljug Dynasty, Fatima Caliphate, Ayyubid Sultanate, and Mumluk Sultanate .
The basis of the existence of political power could be guessed by whether it was the time when the "history book" was written. The society in which the human being who reads a history book is present is because political capability is needed also for the ruler side.
About religion, Sunni Muslims declined by the Abbaid Caliphate, and mysticism Sufi has appeared. In circumference , the feature might be at the point that the Shia has gained strength, simultaneously with it. Although Buyid and Fatima were the Shia, possibly it was for this also weakening the Abbaid Caliphate. Then, in Ayyubid Sultanate (Kurd government)and Seljug dynasty (Turk government), it returned to Sunni Muslims .
Social-structure power of the Islam civilization: The power of the 3rd principle (principle of community development) was not so political as China. Moreover, it was not so religious as India. In China, Han absorbed powerful clan's representation, and Sui absorbed the bureaucrat to politics or administration by capability. In India, the executive official of the Gupta dynasty was a Brahman. Although fruition of Islamic classic civilization was made in the Abbaid Caliphate to it, Islamic civilization is the civilization made by the religion and materialized by union of the bureaucrat of Persia and Arab on political side. In such meaning, the feature differs also from the classic civilization of Europe. The classic civilization of Europe was decentralized on authority compared with Islamic civilization, and the religion of the Europe civilization was close to it of India. In the Europe civilization, Germanic peoples utilized organization of the Christian church as an administration bureaucrat.
The spiritualism of India and the Europe classic civilization was synthesis and maturity, the spiritualism of the Islamic classic civilization to Abbaid Caliphate was intuition and a rebirth, and spiritualism had a difference. Although a young religion has politics and an undifferentiated point, the religion which grew old has tended to specialize with politics. Introversion and escape might be the remarkable features of civilization of declining and dying. Although Europe was also becoming so, neither invasion of a repeated races nor Islamic pressure brought about coma * like India.
* India had time considerably from the heyday of the Gupta dynasty to an Islamic invasion (invasion of Ghaznavids).
