Multicult/Interfaith Dialogue

Multicultural and Interfaith Dialogue in the Mediterranean: The Situation in Italy


The resettlement of Muslim immigrants in Europe and the emergence of a type of collective religious membership [O1] are transforming society which, today, finds itself facing high stakes challenges from the second religion [O2] practiced in Europe. The crisis in the southern Mediterranean increases the difficulty of these challenges that necessitate urgently a serious intercultural conversation between social services and progressive policy makers. The questions to confront are largely difficult; their answers putting seriously in play the future and the security of a Europe that is struggling to find efficient and practical solutions. The dialogue with Europe and Islam must consider integration within Muslim communities, the amplification of Islamaphobia, radical Islam, terrorism, social services, secularism and religion, Muslim women and their freedom and sexuality, exploitation of media and politics, relations between Islam and the European institutions.
