Description: This book, which was written well before September 11, is nonetheless up to date with regard to the West's relationship with “its other”, Islam (according to Jacques Berque's expression). This book, which can contribute to the understanding of certain current events in the Muslim world, also makes it possible to identify the apprehension that a Muslim conscience can have of a certain modernism. The other originality perhaps of this book is that its author, in addition to being a woman, belongs to a Moroccan political opposition movement that is taxed as radical Islamist, “Justice and Spirituality”. Admittedly, he is radical in relation to a tyrannical and hereditary power whose legitimacy he contests, but his understanding of the social practice of Islam is part of a context of continuous, courageous and completely completely innovative.
