Abstract

Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, the American attitude toward Iran's Shiite political Islam is trying to kill, exaggerate the so-called "Islamic threat" constantly, and caused the Islamic world general anti-western miscalculation. Meanwhile, the Sunni political Islam of Afghanistan is being cultivated to defend against the Soviet Union and Iran. But it is also a recipe for Islamic extremism. After the September 11 attacks, the United States began to rethink its policy toward the Islamic world, revisiting its own diplomatic relations with the Islamic world through a lens of interest rather than clash of civilizations. The "One Belt And One Road" strategy is an important step in China's "going out" and will carry out cooperation and exchanges with many Islamic countries along the line. America's attitude to the Islamic world and policy shift will bring China's "neighborhoods" all the way many possible opportunity, for example in the field of trade expansion, and the ease of religious conflict as well as the improvement of public opinion, etc., is good for China.
