What is the place and impact of this perception in general Islamic perception? What are the sources of this perception? These are important questions in terms of our topic. This article will seek answers to these questions. In process of seeking answers, research has been made over the internet, studies done on the subject topic, books and articles have been identified, open archives of journals like Focus and Der Spiegel were scanned.
