Musulmans et chrétiens: le dialogue est-il encore possible?
Muslims and Christians – Is dialogue still possible?

Summary/Abstract: Present tensions and incidents from the times of the crusades cannot obscure the common spiritual and civilizational heritage of Muslims and Christians. Every religion has had to face modernism and examine the relationships between science and faith, politics and religion. Some Muslim thinkers have tried to combat the attempts to modernise Islam through colonisation by resorting to the islamization of modernism. Islamism, appealing to the original community in Medina, is in fact a synthesis of western modernism and contemporary Islam. It is not the only form of the islamization of modernism. Millions of Muslims have settled in the West, in countries which promote civil values and secular institutions. In this way history shows the path to the Muslim-Christian dialogue. Coexistence of communities with different religious beliefs may contribute towards building just, free and equal societies.
