Se integrarsi pacificamente nelle società europee è un dovere, quello di costruire moschee e portare i propri abiti tradizionali è un diritto. Per la prima volta la società civile musulmana del nostro continente prova a parlare con una sola voce ad una vasta platea mediatica, rigettando qualsiasi forma di terrorismo, provando ad incollare tutte le sue anime e cercando di spiegarsi, a sé stessa e all'esterno.
Ma anche dicendo su quali punti non è disposta a cedere, come l'annacquamento della own identity. It does so with the Charter of the Muslims of Europe ", a document endorsed by the major Islamic religious bodies to be signed this afternoon in Brussels from 400 Muslim organizations from all EU countries and Russia. A document by the will of the Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe, the soul of the initiative in the future will also be signed by Christian associations.
It is six pages, which speaks to people of Islamic faith and the outside world with the objective of removing "the preguidizi and the negative image that stand between Islam and the West." That's why the first part of the Decalogue provides a representation of Islam to use and consumption of its believers and other citizens far from extremist tendencies: no to terrorism, violent interpretation of jihad and equality between men and women.
With this background, the paper calls for "the recognition of European Muslims as a religious community", noting that a mutual agreement based on dialogue and mutual understanding conducive to peace, well-being of our society and helps to remove the "extremism and exclusion." Two concepts combined voluntarily, since it was the ghetto tax (or desired) of Islamic communities leads to violence. An evil to be defeated, as the rift between the various Muslim ethnic groups and the various Islamic schools in the Old Continent, which is one of the key messages, they must "join" for the good of themselves and others. Looking outside and strong in this union, urged the associations to comply with the laws and authorities.
On the other hand, the message is expressed with great clarity, Muslims believe in the neutrality of the state ". With not just a corollary: "This means to act impartially with all religions and allow them to express their values \u200b\u200band their beliefs: that's why Muslims have the right to build mosques and religious institutions, to practice within the activities of each day their religion, even in food and in clothes. " An inviolable principle balanced exhortation to be "active and productive citizens" and to "integrate positively". All this, however, preserving the "Muslim identity", since any form of integration that denies this assumption "does not serve the interests of Muslims and society."
To write the paper, said Farid El Machaud, League spokesman for Muslims in Belgium, it took eight years, even after September 11 because everything has become more difficult, firstly because the associations have had to deal with Islamic terrorism from Europe, a phenomenon hitherto unknown. But after the attacks that rocked the world wants the document to be "a response to chi dice che i musulmani non fanno sentire la loro voce: si tratta di un passaggio storico perché per la prima volta i musulmani in Europa danno un'interpretazione comune sull'Islam". Per capirsi tra loro e farsi capire da chi vive nella casa accanto. Un tentativo non da poco.
