«El Islam en Europa: ¿una religión más o una cultura diferente?» is the essay by Olivier Roy published by Editorial Complutense (paperback, 48 pages, Spanish).
The essay asks whether Islam has become just another religion in Europe or represents a different culture. Olivier Roy examines Islamic and Christian fundamentalism as a response to globalization and analyzes conversions between the two religions, suggesting a possible religious revival detached from cultures of origin.
Translated from French by Gonzalo Pradera Gómez. Published in 2006 in the Foro complutense collection.
A work for readers interested in Islam, religion, and the debate on cultural identity in contemporary Europe.
Olivier Roy is a French political scientist and a professor at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. He has published articles and books on secularization and Islam including "Global Islam" and The Failure of Political Islam. He is known to have "a different view of radical Islam" than some other experts. He sees it as peripheral, Westernized and part of a radicalized and "virtual" rather than a pious and "actual" Muslim community. His most recent writings are about the Charlie Hebdo shooting and the November 2015 Paris attacks.
