Abstract

Since the 1970s, the Muslim world has been marked by an increase in religious frames of reference and pious practices overlapping with identities in tension, driven by both social and political protest movements. Historical, socio-anthropological and geopolitical approaches must be mobilized to understand this complex reaffirmation of Islam. Our research shows the utmost importance of seeking a comprehensive study of the religious sociology of Islam and its reciprocal relations with the West if we hope to find a way of mutual understanding, in the pursuit of a common life.
