Left Side Shooting Pain

Ramadan and myopia Europe



"No dialogue with bad teachers," are the words of Marc Augé, the ethnologist of 'non-places', which underlines the impossibility dialogue with the characters Tariq Ramadan. Is not surprised that the United States have included in the list of unwanted and Ramadan is no contradiction in the fact that the Time has added to the list of the hundred most influential intellectuals in the world. Often the influence is not a parameter of merit sufficient to define the goodness of ideas and who the champions. There is therefore one who takes a clear position against certain "sappers" of dialogue between the West and Islam. It will be of French origin Augé, the fact that more than others feel the sound of the underground river of anti-Semitism, which flows into the bowels of Europe and France in particular, to make the proceedings less forgiving ethnologist to the ambiguities and attitudes "missionaristiche" of some intellectuals. The controversy about the power of the Jewish lobby in the world, in the U.S. and France - with particular attention to the media - is only one way to tell the Jewish minorities: bend, when it cries in the face of the intention to annihilate you, do not react, but passively suffer in silence. One technique that often is also used against the Catholic Church.
missing the "good faith". This is the crux. Augé sees in an attempt to give a religious response to social problems treacherous strategy of Islamism. Center the problem, but not quite. It is true that the suburbs were burnt on the base part of social problems, in part - perhaps predominantly - of cultural issues. The sense of recognition, the public identity of ethnic groups who are in mid-stream. Are no longer and not yet. Not more than citizens of countries of origin, not yet citoyen the new France. Sarkozy "does not believe in sectarian or indifferent to a conception of secularism, or at a location of religion in competition with the republic "as described in" The grandeur of Allah and the recipe Sarkozy "the book" Defending the West 'by Pierre Chiartano (Liberal edition with a preface by Renzo Foa). What terrifies the Alpine is the political Islamic communitarianism that threatens to bring down the foundations of the state, with the release of needs and demands of the Islamic community from institutional and social circuit. Radicalism is a shortcut to fill the heads of a youth in disarray. Not only that, but Europe must quickly recast the cultural codes of the proposal, now all biased towards secularism devoid of appeal, not only for Muslims. In culture clash is as if Europe is still tilted to discharge a weapon, but failed in many other provisions. On the other hand, Islam for nearly two centuries has been a marginalization as a result of a culture imported from Egypt to Mesopotamia, then in Turkey found the greatest fulfillment in Kemalism. Ataturk's formula tied to the modern rejection of religion. Today that model is in the corner, it is rusty. Islam looks to Europe with large enough not consider us equal partners. Here as in another chapter of the book "Defending the West '(Regensburg last reduced the West) is analyzed the problem.
"Islam looks at us suspiciously, why? The answer appeared in the columns of the Corriere della Sera (September 2006), in the words of the Holy Father recalls the old criticism of the secularized societies. Therefore their ambiguous relationship with the concept of evil. Scientistic ideology and bad word of declination of the reason they have produced two devastating effects in Europe and in Islamic societies that suffered years of nationalism, a social-baahtista or Kemalist. First idea of \u200b\u200bmarginalization of the individual in accordance with the law, the superstructure. Second, the falsification of the concept of truth and goodness. It is the function in context between the individual and evil, responsibility away the first was annulled the second or vice versa. The processes of identification and recognition of people were moved to land concepts. He sublimated the mud race, class or nation, we have forgotten the grace of truth. Mud and grace are the components of man and free will is what gives precedence over one another, in a daily battle. To forget is to lose the man, who is Christian or Muslim "(pg. 190).
This is an example of the new cultural figure that Europe should acquire in order to have hopes of winning the confrontation with the "bad teachers." It is not an answer that exception for reason or thought layman. He will not be subcontracting ideological religion of the West, but the humble acknowledgment of the changing times.
