Was the cultural/civilisation split of Europe and the Middle East inevitable?

Are you sure? Both Iberia and Italy are the most catholic countries in Europe and while the north african countries are nominally secular there is a huge pressure to implement islamic religious laws in them.

Did you read my post in response to the last person who asked this? The Sharia is mostly secular law. Only the canon law is "religious", and that is implemented virtually nowhere.

People imagine the Sharia is something like the 10 Commandments, engraved on stone tablets, but it's really almost exactly like Common Law.

The usual reason people demand Sharia law is it's because it's more liberal than the authoritarian systems installed in these countries by Western imperial powers to facilitate their rule - and found convenient for the same reasons by subsequent independent regimes.

There is no country called Iberia in Europe. Anyway that point was answered only a few posts before yours. Simply, your afirmations are, at least, imprecise.
