Europeans felt superior to Islam primarily due to religious beliefs, cultural identity tied to Christianity, historical military conflicts, Enlightenment-era progress, and the justification of colonialism. These factors combined to create a long-standing perception of Islamic cultures as inferior. This narrative was shaped by historical events that fueled ongoing tensions between the two faiths.
