从“9.11”事件看美国—伊斯兰“文明冲突”的宗教内核

Religious Nucleoli in the Clash of Civilizations between the U.S.A. and the Islamic World as Reflected in the September 11 incident

从国际关系现实主义的角度看,“9.11”事件的发生是由国际政治权力结构的失衡以及美国和伊斯兰世界之间巨大的国际政治权力落差所导致的。那么,是什么造成美国与伊斯兰世界之间这一权力的落差呢?本文对此进行追问,认识到伊斯兰教和西方基督教新教之间的不同物质财富观念是这一权力落差的重要历史根由之一。而这两大宗教又是这两大文明之所以成其为自身文明的内在核心要素,所以这种国际政治权力落差又表现为以宗教观念为基础的文明之间的冲突。从“9.11”事件可以看出,美伊之间的“文明冲突”有着坚硬的宗教内核。

In the perspective of IR Realism, the '9·11' incident is caused by the imbalance of the power structure of international politics and the great power disparity between the United States and the Islamic world. Then, what is the cause of the great disparity of power? This article makes inquiries into it and recognizes that the divergence of material wealth concepts of Islamism and Protestantism is one of its most important historic reasons. Since the two religious are the hardcore s of their civilizations, the great disparity of powers represents the clash of these two religion-based civilizations. Accordingly, from the incident of '9·11', we can see religions being the hard nucleoli of the clash of civilizations between the U.S.A and the Islamic world.
