| Publisher Description: In this eye-opening discussion, Tariq Ramadan, one of the leading Islamic thinkers in the West and an occasional lightning rod for controversy, summarizes his views on Western Islam at a time when the topic iscomprised ofa number of themes regarding identity, religion, and culture. In an engaging, accessible style, he discusses various subjects that arouse great interest and controversy: the use of the burkha, religious education, the building of mosques, terrorism in the name of Islam, genital mutilation, and more. Ramadan s simple yet powerful message is that Western culture and Islam need not be mutually exclusive concepts and, indeed, can form the basis of a shared and confident pluralism. En esta discusion esclarecedora, Tariq Ramadan, uno de los mas destacados pensadores islamicos en el occidente y un pararrayos ocasional para la controversia sintetiza su vision sobre el Islam occidental en un momento en que constata una gran confusion de temas de identidad, religion y cultura. Con un estilo ameno y didactico, aborda asuntos que suscitan mas polemica e interes: el uso del velo, la educacion religiosa, la creacion de mezquitas, el terrorismo en nombre del Islam, la mutilacion genital y mas. El mensaje de Ramadan es simple pero profundo: la cultura occidental y el Islam no tienen por que ser conceptos mutuamente excluyentes y, mas bien, pueden formar la fundacion de un pluralismo compartido y confidente.
