The key theme that gives unity in the West and China, is a strong uniting force called central government.
Hindus have it too (India).
Islamic World lacks it.
Without a strong uniting and protective government, small petty islamic nations fall prey to outside forces who use divide and control. Sometimes outright mass murder and genocide.
The West also have division but are kept in line by a strong superpower: USA.
Both China and India are large countries but I don't think they project good, transnational images even in their own neighborhood. Look at the disputes they have with their neighbors. Both are essentially local powers with big populations and big pockets. They don't compare anywhere with the America-led West or even the Islamic World in terms of geographical and ideological spread.
The West rightly sees the geographically centrally located Islamic world as a big threat. From the 'Stans to Morocco, a long ark of countries with large populations and natural resources.
PS. Huntington's theory was garbage and I am glad you rubbished that in your other post.
