Provides an overview on the history of the Muslim Brotherhood and the ways its heritage is appropriated by its European members. They define themselves as the 'community of the middle way', in the centre of Islamic orthodoxy, proposing an ethos and an ideology

Since the 1970s, the Muslim world has been marked by an increase in religious frames of reference and pious practices overlapping with identities in tension, driven by both social and political protest movements. Historical, socio-anthropological and geopolitical approaches must be mobilized to understand this complex reaffirmation of Islam. Our research shows the utmost importance of seeking a comprehensive study of the religious sociology of Islam and its reciprocal relations with the West if we hope to find a way of mutual understanding, in the pursuit of a common life.

From a sociological viewpoint, this article analyses the Muslim Brothers' organisational complexity and their logics of action in Europe (beyond their role as an active minority). To evoke the coexistence and indeed interactions between their various types of structures, themselves supported by individual memberships in change, the concept movance, which we seek to present here, appears suitable: it allows us to go beyond concepts of movement, organisation, network and field in a Bourdieusian sense of the term in a useful manner, in pointing out the extent to which the Brothers incarnate a relatively open system beyond the tensions internal to their various organised structures: they do not just play at the heart of one and the same arena they endeavour to control, but rather exert their efforts multidirectionally in order to become a reference model for a greater number.

Le devenir de l'islam belge ne diffère pas fondamentalement de celui en cours dans les autres pays européens et les dynamiques fondamentalistes apparaissent y avoir à priori d'autant moins de place que le contexte apparaît fortement intégrateur. De telles dynamiques se développent pourtant et ont un relatif succès, notamment en raison de leurs capacités organisationnelles. Elles valorisent diverses manières d'être musulman : piétiste, intégrateur de conscientisation sociopolitique, moralisateur et rigoriste, de militantisme politique voire même armé. Les formes militantes radicales se développent de manière relativement marginale et épisodique, bien que quelques îlots importants soient à signaler.

Réflexion sur l'islam eu Europe à partir de Fitna, le film du politique populiste néerlandais Geert Wilders.

The fate of Belgian Islam does not differ fundamentally from that in other European countries and fundamentalist dynamics appear to be all the less important in the light of the highly integrative context. However, such dynamics are developing and have a relative success, not least because of their organisational capacities. They value different ways of being Muslim: pietiste, an integrator of socio-political awareness, moraliser and rigorist, political activism and even armed activism. Radical militant forms are developing relatively marginally and episodic, although there are some important islands to report. ; Le devenir de l'islam belge ne diffère pas fondamentalement de celui en cours dans les autres pays européens et les dynamiques fondamentalistes apparaissent y avoir à priori d'autant moins de place que le contexte apparaît fortement intégrateur.
