Intimidation and violence are the result of various historical, religious, political, and social factors that have evolved over time. This study aims to analyze the interplay of these factors through a mechanism called the "Geometry of Faith and Power," highlighting the significant role of religious and political interactions between Muslims and Christians in shaping negative stereotypes.This article demonstrates that, contrary to the common perception, Islamophobia is not merely a consequence of actions by the Christian West but a complex result of the shared interactions between Eastern and Western Christianity, as well as internal behaviors within Islamic societies. Furthermore, this study seeks to illustrate that over centuries of interaction between Islam and Christianity, the "Geometry of Faith and Power," which once contributed to Islamophobia beyond the borders of the Islamic world, now remains active within the internal borders of the Islamic world as well.Thus, while examining the historical factors contributing to the development of Islamophobia, this study emphasizes the need for a critical reassessment of both historical and contemporary approaches to gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon and to provide solutions for mitigating this challenge.

"Modernity" is a simple and at the same time fundamental concept, the understanding of its evolution and development can provide a deep understanding of the nature of the emerging Western civilization. According to the theoretical approach of this article, the modernity should be considered as a Gestalt phenomenon. Therefore, this article attempts to explain the process of transformation in the "modernity" by using the Gestalt approach and show how the modernity has undergone a kind of metamorphosis in the context of the emerging Western civilization and, as a result, the modern subject has found a different perception of modernity. For this purpose, we will present a typology and periodization of the modernity. Based on typology, the modernity can be considered to include the three types of modernity, modernism and modernization, and based on periodization, it can be considered to include the three periods of early, middle and late. In this article, we will show how modernity in its later period has led to the emergence of a new form of Western civilization, in which we witness the birth of the risk society and the increasing importance of social rethinking.
