During last half a century, particularly after the Islamic Revolution, Islamization of science and particularly humanities has been among important philosophical discussions, and still a lot is being published on this issue. This paper attempts to identify the exact subject of the discussion, and to show although objective science tries to make distance from every biases, even according to the realists who give priority to the correspondence, the impact of different worldviews on the objective theories they offer still can remain. Islamic worldview is no exception, and as sciences of different historical periods have been effected by the prevalent worldview of the time, it can be effected by the Islamic worldview. Then the theory of impossibility of Islamic science is refuted by the case of mind body dualism in psychology believed differently in Islamic and materialist worldviews. It is noteworthy that science can become Islamic in a natural way and not according to policymaking. Science cannot be Islamized using censorship or mixing it with propositions from the Quran and Hadith. At the end it is concluded that although science can become Islamic, Islamization of science based on censorship and similar artificial means is not fruitful.
