| Summary: | The article proposes a possible
methodological perspective for conceptualizing
Islam and modernity in the context of the
dichotomy “traditional vs. modern”. The author
outlines the different images of Islam in their
specific sociological profiles as related to (and
stemming from) the canon of norms that constitute
the Islamic community and construct community
ties, the basic resource of which are religious
values. A scrutiny of the modes of difference and
otherness through the lense of neighbourhood
reveals otherness to be a latent conflict factor
susceptible to political mobilization and populist
manipulation. The author identifies the problem
fields that generate the clash between secularism
and Islam. |
