Bokenforde Ernst-Wolfgang is the father of a paradox. He is German and is the son of postwar Germany, where he tried in every way to build an architecture of the State had not the faults and fragility of the Weimar Republic. We have tried in a state model that is called "liberal" - but that is the result of a certain ideology continental-guarantor of an alliance between the "Throne" and "Church". According to the current defenders of secularism of Europe, agreed on an interesting meeting at the American Studies Center and coordinated by the Director of Reset, Giancarlo Bosetti - promoter of the indexing of Magdi Allam - we are not in a post-secular society, but pre -secular. If anyone had doubts about the future dell'oltranzismo secularist could touch theories and theorems of a certain academic abstraction from reality. Mind you, Many have been the analysis of great interest, first that of the protagonist who has proposed a model of open secularism (and German) as opposed to a closed version (the French pre-Sarkozy, we might add). Theses interesting because it opens a dialogue on the continental model than the Anglo-American - also gutted by the activation of Emilio Gentile. "American religious vs. secular Europe", another paradox where the grandchildren of the Pilgrim Fathers would be more lay people as more religious. In fact, 90 percent of Americans say they believe and the same percentage would vote for a candidate to the White House, Christian, Muslim or jew, but only 15 percent over the would for an atheist president. And "riciccia" the history of civil religion or "ceremonial deism." In short, a whole series of discourses who forget that the invention - if we may so call it - of separation between church and state comes from the words of Jesus: "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar ...». Okay, but we can not stand to quibble. However, you do not know where the boundary is that, within the public space, the boundary area between cultural determination and political will. What is the distinction between the recognition of cultural differences, as components of a plural society and the political effect that will change their nature. Take an example. In Turkey, the universities, it is forbidden to wear the traditional veil. So many children use different forms of clothing to make it clear that they are believers. They want to occupy public space as cultural determination, but above all as an action "politics" that can lead to changes in the laws of the State. Defenders of the neutral state, the enclosure within which everyone can freely profess his faith or no faith, lack of confronting this reality. Theorize in the abstract, the justice of a procedural democracy and are suspicious of the proposal Bokenforde, who at least has the merit of opening a door to the importance of "tradition" than political models. Someone has also revived the vision of renaissance of the conflict between the liberal state and the Church ... Mah! It's like talking of 'habeas corpus' and the law of Justinian, in principle is correct, but called some yawn. However, in Cologne, which has a Muslim community of half a million people, have found the solution. The two minarets of what will be one of the largest mosques in Europe should be at sufficiently lower (55 meters) of the Gothic spire of the Cathedral.
