RAPOSO, Henrique. Islamism in the European societies: the myths of Muslim community, civilizations dialogue and moderate Islam. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2009, n.22, pp.63-82. ISSN 1645-9199.
In this essay, we are mostly interested in Islamism as a phenomenon that affects the European epistemic community dealing with security issues. As Raymond Aron often remarked, the work of the political scientist is about destroying the myths that surround both politicians and intellectuals. According to this, we aim to clarify the language and the narratives used in the current debate on European Islamism. Hence, we will divide our essay into three parts: codification of the general characteristics of Islamism as an ideology; description of how European Islamism acts among European societies; and finally we develop an analytical perspective on the issue, by refusing the dominant paradigm, which we believe too biased by an excess of communitarian and religious identity.
