Summary/Abstract |
Is a "Euro-Islam" possible? Whether at the level of theory, practice or policy, very few scholars and practitioners pay enough sustained attention to the fact that how we think/not-think, speak/silence, inscribe/erase, and address/ignore various aspects of "Islam in Western Europe" has much to do with the concepts of "identity" and "other." Whereas policy-makers, activists, peace-advocates, and fear-mongers continuously deploy these concepts for or against certain strategies, agendas and purposes, it is important to "deconstruct" these concepts so as to open up a horizon for thinking the possibility of a Euro-Islam. This paper thus argues that thinking of Euro-Islam implies an aporiatic politics of "Othering" and that it is possible to go beyond this aporia in a certain way by using a new approach for thinking about Islam in Europe. I develop this framework through a deconstruction of the concepts of "identity" and "other" using a non-Aristotelian logic of "without," the pair of undecidable concepts immunity/auto-immunity, and Derrida's notion of "negotiation."

Summary/Abstract |
Europe now faces three related but different challenges: how to respond, in a time when "native" European populations are shrinking, to the growing presence of Muslim minorities; how to avoid having its relationships with its Muslim communities controlled by Islamists who seek to replace Western civilization with Islamic government based on sharia law; and what to do generally about this Islamist threat. Thus far, the European responses to these challenges have been shaped by four factors: accumulated civilizational exhaustion; the inability to grasp the challenge posed to European national identities by the allure of the global Caliphate; weakness arising from degraded security capabilities, including the impact of the continued drive to "build Europe" by adopting the Treaty of Lisbon; and the preference for appeasement of Islamist demands.
