Wen soll der Westen unterstützen: gemäßigte Islamisten wie Tariq Ramadan oder islamische Dissidenten wie Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Der französische Philosoph Pascal Bruckner sorgte Anfang 2007 für Aufsehen, als er in einer polemischen Streitschrift den vermeintlichen liberalen Konsens im Umgang mit dem Islam attackierte. Beweglicher und schneller, als das in den traditionellen Medien möglich gewesen wäre, entwickelte sich auf den Seiten der Internetplattformen perlentaucher.de und signandsight.com eine kontroverse Debatte, die den aktuellen Stand der Diskussion um Multikulturalismus in Europa markiert – und darüber hinausweist.

Though both Canada and India are products of the British Empire, they represent two very different paths that nations today can follow . Along with the United States, Europe, and Australia, India suffers the effects of growing populism, tribalism, and Islamophobia, which threaten stability and human rights for its citizens. Through his memoir, Haroon Siddiqui recounts the highs and lows he has experienced in relation to his native and adopted lands, and the lessons learned from what can go wrong and what can be made right Fromhis early years as the child of a Sufi family in India who endured the horrors of the 1947 Partition, to his move to Canada twenty years later. From watching his adopted country grow more multicultural and welcoming, to the contradiction of those inclusive ideals after September 11, 2001. Any country, no matter its place in the world, can descend into racist, anti-democratic tendencies. Canada has been an exception, but how will the forces of the world change that? In My India, My Canada, Siddiqui uses his two countries as metaphors to examine the risks of liberal democracy today and the fault lines of the age which threaten to tear us apart He tells these stories as a reminder of both the glories of humanity and the depths to which we can fall.

Les « Qatar papers » révèlent la cartographie du régime en France et en Europe menée par Qatar Charity, l’ONG qatarie la plus puissante. Ces documents confidentiels, pour la première fois, détaillant la plupart des 140 projets de financement de mosquées, d’écoles et de centres islamiques, au profit d’associations aux Frères musulmans. Ils révèlent le salaire versé à Tariq Ramadan, une figure de l’islam politique que Doha paraine en dehors des ses frontières. A l’issue d’une enquête menée dans six pays européens et une dizaines de villes de France, les auteurs exposent la dissimulation, parfois la double langue, des associations musulmanes sur leur finance étranger, aisi que la politique de l’autruche suivre par de nombreux maires, par électoralisme ou ignorance. Ils soulignent l’absurdité de la situation : avec l’argent des fidèles seul comme subvention, commentez les mosquées de France pourrait-elles se priver de l’aide de l’étranger ? Un voyage dans les coulisses d’une ONG riche et opaque liée au sommet de l’Etat qatari, comme le sénateur par plusieurs membres de la famille régnante, l’Al Thani. https://librairie-averroes.com/fr/actualites/252-qatar-papers-how-doha-finances-the-muslim-brotherhood-in-europe-9782914057004.html

Pakistan passed the Anti-Terrorism Act in 1997 in response to the rising threat of terrorism within its borders. The law was designed to help law enforcement combat terrorism. Instead, conceptual difficulties within the law and procedural problems in implementing it have led to an alarmingly high number of acquittals. This report examines the weaknesses in the Anti-Terrorism Act and suggests ways to improve the law and its application to better fight terrorism in Pakistan.
One of two things would have brought him back to Sanhaja, his Amazigh village: His mother death who ruined his childhood or the return of Najma, Haji Bernard's wife, his first passion, his forbidden love who disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

But the place inflames his emotions which get shaken by his friend Mustafa's fanatism, and provoked by the smells of Dehya, a Spanish tourist of Berber origin. And the nerver answered question of today: Do we ever heal in exile?
