Le reproche de méconnaissance de l'Islam par l'Europe doit être considéré dans le contexte d'une tension entre accomplissement et progression indéfinie. On peut ainsi envisager un rapport réfléchi entre les cultures, inspiré de l'histoire des mathématiques et de la littérature.

There are today intense debates about Islam, secularism and democracy. The arguments raised by the various protagonists refer to implicit representations of the possible relationships between these three terms. They also refer to predetermined conceptions of the historical processes at work in contemporary Muslim societies. We might try to clarify the meaning given to each of these three terms and, consequently, take a new look at the concepts that are widely circulated in the contemporary debate.

Ever since the accession of Turkey to the European Union has become an increasingly concrete possibility, one of the most discussed subjects in Europe but also in Turkey is the Muslim identity of the great majority of the Turkish population. This article aims to give an outline of the different components of this plural Islam, focusing on European Turks & their politico-religious memberships. The article also discusses the concepts of official & oppositional Islam in the Turkish context & questions the relevance of this dichotomy. Finally, the paternalistic attitude of the Turkish state with respect to the European Turks is analyzed, in particular as it applies to the religious field. Adapted from the source document.

It is through the development of their action within the framework of the nation-state that Islamic movements have become nationalist, or at least nationalized, in opposition to their original ideology which was internationalist. The major Islamic movements have thereby contributed to the strengthening of the nation-state, and today they find themselves rather close to the secular nationalists in their opposition to the United States. Conversely, violent radicalism is identified to movements that are disconnected from any territory, such as al Qaida. Adapted from the source document.
