Bośnia i Hercegowina w kontekście wyznaniowym współczesnej Europy. Proces westernizacji islamu i islamizacji Zachodu
Bosnia and Herzegovina in the religious context of modern Europe. The process of Westernisation of Islam and Islamisation of the West

Summary/Abstract: In the review a book is discussed that addresses crucial issues of coexistence of culturally and religiously diverse societies. Its author, referring to the cultural, social and religious situation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a broad historical context has shown the issue of functioning of the Muslims throughout the world in the past and presently. The review mentions that Marinko Zekić undertook an attempt to answer the question whether the present changes are leading to an Islamisation of the Western world or rather to a modernisation of the Islamic world. He also showed the reasons for mutual relations, their history and sketched their possible future consequences. The history of Islam and mutual relations between the Muslim world and the West were based on a thorough source material and a reinterpretation of the researchers’ opinions, as the author referred to the issue of threats and the vigorous dispute about the future of Western culture that strongly polarises the public opinion. M. Zekić analysed deeply the reasons for these concerns and finds them in the radical Islamic movements that result in the painful experience of terrorism.
