Investigating the Historical Evidence of the Role of the West in Reducing the Scientific Communications of the Islamic Civilization by Reducing its Texts

In the past centuries and before the emergence of the new communication media, the most important way of preserving and exchanging information and science was writing. This study examines the historical evidence of the role of the West in reducing the scientific communications of Islamic civilization by reducing its texts. Therefore, using the analytical- historical research method and by note taking and library-based and documentary method, the present research investigates the historical evidence of the role of the West in reducing the scientific communications of Islamic civilization by reducing its texts and limiting access to the scientific sources of Muslim scholars. Findings of the research indicate that by plundering and transferring Islamic works, the West restricted access to Islamic civilization sources and texts, and destroyed them, and this led to irreparable damages and reduced the level of scientific communication in the Islamic world.
