Résumé
--
For many years now, and long before 9/11, the rigid polarisation between what is described as 'Islam and the West' has been mutating into a mutual fear. It is no longer the strangeness of Islam that is the agenda - a topic treated by the author in his book 'Islam...étrange?' - but the question of reciprocal exclusion. It emerges initially in two interrogations: are Islam and Christianity natural adversaries? Can Islam and the West ever find a common citizenship in a world culture that is both global and diversified? Today's questions echo those of the past: Isn't the Koran basically anti-Christian? What was Islam's primary inspiration? Isn't the negative image of the Muslim, widespread during the Middle Ages, the source of a certain 'Islamophobia' evoked by some Muslims today? How can we best understand a certain bitterness felt by Muslim communities, a 'resentment', conscious or unconscious? Is there perhaps something in the theology of Islam that renders Muslims resistant to what's known as the West, or modernity? Is it impossible for Muslims live as 'Western-style' citizens, as countless 'new thinkers' of Islam suggest? Based on the Koran and polemical texts from the Middle Ages, this book sheds light on a complex topic without ever losing sight of the questions that occupy our minds today.
