Islamic terrorism and prevention: a challenge

Giuseppe Samir EID (R.C. MILAN SOUTH-EAST)

I read with interest the scenario described by Farotti in the May 5 Issue.

I would like to offer my contribution on some aspects of prevention just touched upon by the Author, but which help to complete the understanding of the phenomenon.

In the last forty years there has been a very strong demographic growth in Muslim societies, which has led to more than a doubling of the population. This has happened in geographical areas which, with the exception of a small privileged minority, are characterized by a very low economic level compared to that of the West, causing waves of migration towards Europe.

We all know that in the word Islam there is the root of the word peace and we remember how Jesus presented to his people the first mission entrusted to them: “Whichever house you enter, say first of all: peace in this house”. The word peace in the Koran is one of the ninety-nine most beautiful names of God.

“Al salam aleikom”: peace be with you. “wa aleikum el salam wa rahmat ilah wa barakat”: and with you be peace, God’s mercy and His blessing, a term used several times in the day by any Arab. A wish for peace that is part of the daily rhythm of life in the Arab world. An obligatory wish in relations between Muslims, but if it comes from and with a Christian to a Muslim, the whole phrase of peace is often not reciprocated, from Muslim to Christian.

About terrorism and the loyalty of Muslim immigrants to the Italian State. Most of the media avoid the core of the problem: loyalty of Italian Muslims or Muslim residents and their Muslim household to the Italian nation and its laws. One fringe of Muslims in the world is motivated by the objective of re-establishing the caliphate and the purity of original Islam. In Europe 20 or30 years ago, the European citizen did not know the prin- ciples of Islam, or if so, only vaguely.

Religions and cultures in comparison for a Planetary Humanism

In the respect of each other’s beliefs, it is necessary to work for the recognition of natural law and common values as a meeting point for peace.

The challenge lies in being able to give a common response to the problems of the 21st century, as well as preparing the new generations for multi-ethnic religious and cultural coexistence, starting from the experience of the Christian Arabs: The relationship between Islam and Christianity in the Middle East, indicates some critical issues related to the issue of cultural and religious minorities, issues of great importance that make us understand and manage the presence of Muslims in European countries (Agnelli Foundation).

A dialogue of life: non-ideological, on the rights and dignity of the person, aimed at conversion of heart.
