• W293280962 abstract "The Islamic Challenge: Religion and Politics in Europe of 21st Century Bassam Tibi Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt, 3rd Edition, 2008 The author, a professor for International relations at University of Gottingen in Germany and also A. D. White professor at large at Cornell University in United States, is a Moslem immigrant who expresses concern at signs of rising resentment amongst native Europeans at increasingly massive flow of Moslems into Europe, and purports to propose how such tensions can be countered. He advances two main theses in this book. First, he describes what he considers to be cause of confrontational relations between Islam and Western nations, speaking of a Moslem hatred originating in economic and technical inferiority of Islamic world. Second, he claims that multiculturalism has failed and argues that Western nations are too secular and need to reintroduce a sense of sacral, by which he seems to mean an acceptance of monotheistic omnipotence and strict rules, into their politics and everyday life. To Tibi, Europe needs to modify its culture in an Islamic direction, rather than aim for state of multiculturalism in which secular Western culture remains dominant. He talks about basic right for strong rules and sacral, which he does not define but we may assume implies acceptance of omnipotent monotheism into politics of a nation. He notes that Mediterranean has ceased to be a dividing frontier between Moslem world and Europe. Accepting fact of an already massive Moslem presence in Europe and anticipating a continued flow and acceptance of Moslem immigrants in future, he argues for Islamization of Europe and a corresponding Europeanization of European Moslems. Europe, he claims, will ultimately benefit from massive acceptance of Moslem immigrants because they will reintroduce into secular Europe. European culture will be integrated into Islamic idea of sacral absolute. We suspect that Tibi has obtained his professorships in two eminent Western universities because he understands Islam but protests violent antipathy that most Islamic activists show toward West. However, he seems to be something of an Islamic Trojan Horse in that he argues that Europe should accept increasing Moslem immigration and modify its own culture accordingly. As we will see, Tibi urges a somewhat confused synthesis of these opposite alternatives, and does not explain how a scientific secular culture that believes in causality can be combined with beliefs that attribute all events to divine will and submission to a supposedly omnipotent monotheistic god. Tibi coins expression the politicization of religion for process of melding sacral into European culture. Secularization, in his opinion, means only separation of belief and politics, and he says that as a result of Islamic immigration Europeans may once again acquire a stronger belief in absoluteness of God. He acknowledges strong enmity between different forms of Islamic religiosity (i.e., Shi'ites against Sunnis), but implies that it is influence of West and Jews that has revived these ancient antagonisms. To this reviewer, it would seem more correct to argue that pressure of overpopulation is a major contributor to such conflicts. Tibi recognizes that secular culture of technical-scientific countries has facilitated rapid growth in population in Africa and much of Asia, resulting in rapid rise of overcrowded city-slums,, by providing medicines and enhancing food supply, and that at same time populations of developed nations are either growing only slowly or are actually declining. He creates expression religious analphabeths to define those Western states that have replaced by politics. …" @default.
