| Summary: | The islamic movement in Turkey is multifaced and variegated, but its history present an always homogeneous position about Europe. From the Sixties to the Nineties, this movement assumed a critical position against the moderning and western-loved élites of Turkey: the West has been considered the responsible for all the Turkish problems. Following the islamists, then, the universality of the west concepts, as the human rights and the democracy, failed in Islam because there the sovereignty belongs to God and not to the people, in an unitarian culture, not changeable nor variegated, as the social sciences assumed. In the last decade of the Twentieth century started a post-islamic era, characterized by the separation between politics and religion and that favours the affinities with the West, its values and institutions. Today, the islamists end to consider the West as a separated entity, and start to consider Europe as an hope for the develop and the democratization, especially while Europe is de-westerning and becoming old: if Turkey becomes a member state of the European Union, Islam and Europe could meet each other again. |
