About this ebook
Islam in the West: Beyond Integration offers an overview and a profile of Muslims living in the West, their identity, integration and citizenship. The book tries to answer some hard questions surrounding the interplay between religious and national identities, and how these two types of identities negotiate their place in the hearts of Western Muslims.
Case studies cover constructive integration in Canada, assimilation in France and the exclusionist approach in Bosnia. Some answers to the questions on citizenship are presented from an Islamic perspective, taking into account Islamic formative principles — the Qur’an and Sunnah (the Prophetic tradition) — as they pertain to the globalized world of today. This includes an examination of historical perspectives found in the scholarly discourses on citizenship unearthed from early Muslim history as well as from contemporary times. These issues are analyzed through the prism of a religiously pluralistic and culturally diverse society.
This book is published in English.

Le besoin de mieux comprendre l’identité, l’intégration, la citoyenneté, l’appartenance et la loyauté musulmanes en Occident n’a jamais été aussi grand. Ce petit livre aborde les grandes problématiques portant sur les musulmans canadiens.
Qui sont les musulmans canadiens ? Que faut-il pour qu’un pays soit une terre d’accueil saine et accueillante ? Ces questions sont abordées dans la première section.
Qu’est-ce que l’identité musulmane canadienne ? Cette section offre des pistes de réponses aux difficiles questions entourant l’interaction entre les identités religieuse et nationale. Sont-elles contradictoires ou complémentaires ?
Comment se compare le modèle canadien d’intégration ? Deux modèles très différents sont présentés à titre de comparaisons : le modèle d’assimilation à la française, et l’approche bosnienne d’exclusion.
Qu’est-ce que la « citoyenneté » d’un point de vue islamique ? La dernière section explore les principes formateurs de l’Islam – le Coran et la sunna (tradition prophétique) à l’ère de la mondialisation. L’histoire de l’Islam, y compris son histoire contemporaine jettent un éclairage intéressant sur la question.
Fondé sur la compréhension accrue et le respect, ce petit livre contribue de manière positive au débat actuel sur la place des musulmans canadiens et de l’Islam au Canada.
Voici le titre inaugural de la Collection 101, une série de brèves introductions, en 101 pages, aux grands débats de société.
Ce livre est publié en anglais.
