Islam Between Religion and Ideology: Essay on Muslim Modernity (NRF Essais), Paperback Book, By: Picaudou, Nadine

The conclusion seems to be unanimous every day: one of the worst threats to the West today resides in political Islam. The phenomenon would dictate the future of Muslim societies, destabilize the world order and destroy the values ​​attached to Western historical experience - as yesterday, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, pan-Islamism had convinced the chancelleries of an inevitable confrontation between Islam and civilization. To understand contemporary political Islam, it is necessary to return to what Nadine Picaudou defines as the modern moment of Islam. Between the 1860s and 1930s, Islam became a system of beliefs and practices that were objectified in the political and social universes: far from being accompanied by a disenchantment with the world, Muslim modernity rationalizes the revealed message and emancipates scholasticism from established knowledge.

A disputed reference in the public debate, Islam is entering new mechanisms of government at a time when the powers are confronted with the necessary redefinition of the forms of sovereignty, legislation and legitimacy. Enlisted in all political mobilizations against foreign domination, Islam at the same time nourishes new repertoires of collective action. The modern moment of Islam is thus that of the transformation of religion into ideology, prior to all contemporary politicizations. emancipates scholasticism from established knowledge.
