In the modern world, the increasing pace of globalization strengthens inter-civilization
interaction, its consequence is the Europeanization of non-European social
worlds and cultures, and the response to it was the orientalization of Europe, that
is the emergence and integration of significant Muslim diasporas on the territory of
European states. The Europeanization of the Islamic regions of the East and the
increase as a result of migration of Muslim communities in European countries poses
the problem of a painless and, preferably, fruitful synthesis of the European way of
life and values with the ethics and lifestyle of followers of Islam. The purpose of the article is to consider the positions assessing the interpenetration of Islam and Western
European culture in the discussions of Islamic scholars, politicians and religious
figures. The object of the study is discussions about the concept of “Euroislam” in
modern Russian and foreign oriental literature. The subject of the study is the content
of the concept of “Euroislam” in relation to modern socio-political life and religious
practices of Muslims. The objectives of the study are: to analyze the genesis of the
emergence of the concept of “Euroislam” among thinkers of different regions of residence
of Muslims in new and modern times; to define the concept of “Euroislam” in
domestic science and the religious and political field; to identify the relationship of
the concept of “Euroislam” with the realities of the life of the Muslim world, as well as
the existence of Muslim communities in Russia and Europe. The work is carried out
on the basis of the general scientific principles of objectivity, consistency, historicism
using the hermeneutic method, methods of content analysis and comparative studies,
as well as formal-logical procedures for deduction and induction, definition and
classification. Using comparative techniques, the authors have made an attempt to
answer the question of how much Euroislam affects such components of classical
Islam as its dogma, rituals and organization of religious life. This approach to Islamic
issues allows to a certain extent to enrich the methodology of humanitarian research
with additional experience in the use of comparative studies. The case of Euro Islam
raises the question of the possibility of the “joint existence” of different ethnic groups
and faiths and the “collective habit” (that is, the incorporation of the individual’s social
and political experience), on the one hand, and the basic principles of democracy of
the Western European model, on the other. |
