Dedicated to increasing our knowledge and awareness of the
ever-growing diversity and pluralism of global society, Forum A.
& A. Leysen has initiated a debate/lecture series, with a focus
on Islam in today's world and in Europe in particular. Well-known
influential authorities each an active participant in the public
debate on the global role of Islam past, present, and future
presented papers at the several Intercultural Relations meetings
sponsored by Forum A. & A. Leysen. These important
contributions are collected in Islam and Europe: Crises Are
Challenges.
A common message emerges from the contributors and all their
different points of view: only dialogue on the one hand between the
West (countries that manifest themselves as Western Democratic
constitutional states) and Islam, and on the other hand within and
among societies historically identified with Islam will overcome
entrenched confrontation and negative animosity. Such dialogue will
engender new possibilities and understandings, and, by encouraging
free and critical thinking, pave the way to social equity and the
scientific innovation that may lead to more prosperity. In the
course of the meetings all talks led to fascinating debates. This
book includes the papers presented during the period January 2008
to January 2009. Although the question of how to actually construct
the dialogue remains unsettled, this pioneering book takes a giant
step toward an answer.
