A reference was organized in memory of Harvard political scientist, Prof. Samuel P. Huntington, whose scholarly work, in particular Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order has been the most discussed and debated publication during the last quarter of a century. Prof. Huntington died on 24 December 2008 after teaching at Harvard University for 58 years at the age of 81. The reference session was attended by scholars, teachers and students of Social sciences and International Relations disciplines.  Speaking on the occasion, Rector of the International Islamic University remembered his academic association with the great social scientist and described him as an unusual scholar who introduced controversies and thrived on them during his long scholarly career. There is little doubt that Huntington was keen to retain the White Protestant image of United States and contributed his thought towards that end. President of International Islamic University, Dr. Anwar Hussain Siddiqui urged the audience to carry forward the legacy of the great scholar by challenging his ideas on academic level and providing a more plausible philosophy for the future of the world. Dr. Charles Haines, professor of Anthropology of American University at Cairo stated that the approach of the great scholar was purely subjective. Huntington would welcome military dictatorship in Algeria and elsewhere in the world if democracy did not support American interest. Similarly in his earlier work, he seems to support military dictatorships in the third world countries. Dr. Haines compared the casualties in Congo with Iraq and rejected the clash of civilizations theory of Prof. Huntington, saying that more people die in civil wars than in the clash of civilizations. Dr. Jazz Shari Gianni, who was a student of Prof. Huntington at MIT in 1972, highlighted the gist of Huntington’s major publications and observed that Huntington was different from other scholars when he talked of pluralism in societies and cultures in comparison with his predecessors who only identified the rise and fall of one civilization against the other. He found Huntington’s approach subjective and linked with American interests.
