Abstract
In this research study, it’s aimed to analyze the correlations between the West’s hegemony formation policies over the East and Islamic communities and orientalist knowledge and discourse production process in the fields of “civilizing”, “democratizing” and “counterterrorism” from at the begining of the 19’th century to today. In this research study, the deconstruction method which was developed by Michel Foucault and adopted by Edward Said and Aziz El Azmeh, is prefered as research method. In this context, orientalist knowledge and discourse production process is deconstructed in the fields of “civilizing”, “democratizing” and “counterterrorism” from begining of 19’th century to today and causal correlations between contents of these concepts and West’s imperialist interests are elaborated. In this research study, it’s reached that, orientalist knowledge and discourse production process had created a fictive Islam and a tautology which always describes West with positive features but East and Islam with negative features as an opposite of the West. It’s also reached that this fictive Islam which had produced by orientalists, had used by the West for the purpose of ensuring legistimacy its imperialist policies on the East and Islamic communities. While this process had applied by the West under the names of “civilize” throughout the 19’th centruy, it had been applied under the names of “democratizing” and “counterterrorism” since the middle of the 20’th centruy.
