The presence of Muslims in Italy is a central topic of political debate. Despite being widely discussed in European cultural circles, it has yet to be effectively addressed. The Manifesto of Italian Islam speaks in a language accessible to Western audiences, exposing them to the experiences of the Islamic community and its claims to identity. In a kaleidoscope of classical and contemporary elements, using historical, philosophical, and sociological elements previously absent from the debate and never before published in Italian, it addresses all the major “hot topics”: from the veil to integration, from terrorism to minority rights. It also includes insights more distant from current events, whose repercussions have hindered the formation of Islamic continuity in our country: historical events, unconscious fears, linguistic prejudices unraveled over the centuries. The author—an Italian Muslim—distinguishes the weaknesses of the various approaches Islam and Italy take to each other, from interreligious dialogue to political demands, imagining new horizons where culture is the key to authentic integration. This book helps Italian readers look at Muslims in a new light and, conversely, aims to help Italian Muslims create a coherent cultural framework around which to develop a new identity, one that deeply belongs to Italy.
