Ideology of political dualism reads that there is dichotomy between us and them, between the self and others. Following a brief review of the history of political dualism this paper focuses on the ‘West-and-Islam dualism.’ Considering ideas of two influential and inspiring dualists one from the Western camp and the other from the East, this paper aims to critically evaluate the philosophical assumptions of this ideology. The main argument of the paper is that political dualism, regardless of being used by whom against whom, is a flawed and dangerous political ideology.
