The clashes between the worlds have not only disturbed and manipulated both civilizations but also illustrated the faults on the global world.

The opportunities, which can improved the situation, are also assessed in this intellectual debate.

Many misconceptions and media propaganda’s are strengthening the foundation of this negative attitude towards the West day by day. Different ideologies related to religious extremism and the clash of civilizations have flourished because of the biased viewpoint of people towards the Western ideology.

Therefore, the current study deployed a qualitative research methodology to present to evaluate factors influencing Westphobia.
