7/18/2013

“Is there a conflict between the values of the French Republic and the values of Islam?” This question was put forth to panel of prominent Muslim intellectuals and politicians at a conference in Paris organized by Toufik Bouarfa and Nadir Ouilain. The exclusive event brought together 40 civil society activists, journalists and politician for a frank discussion that is rare in France. 


Participants included Rachide Benzine, author of an important anthology of new thinkers in Islam; the founder of a hip magazine for urban youth, RESPECT MAG; and senior members of the major French political parties. A key theme was a lack of awareness about the diversity of Islamic thought, not only among the broader French public, but among Muslims themselves...which is precisely why this network of liberal Muslims is so vital. View the full video of the debate here.
